The Topsy Turvy Huldra Doll
In Norway there is a creature known as the Huldra, a feminine creature, who much like a troll, sports a cow’s tail. The legend goes that, if she is able to get a man to marry her, she will immediately transform into a beautiful woman and shed her wretched tail. This month I’m writing about transformations and what better way to do it than by showing you how to make a Topsy-Turvy Huldra doll?

Two Headed American Storytelling (Part II of II)
After the postwar period and its preoccupation with racial differences, Topsy-Turvy dolls again went through a redefinition in purpose and design. The polarized black and white upside down dolls gave way around the 1930s and 40s to storybook character dolls that focused on other types of metamorphosis. Doll making became part of an initiative to help economically deprived families in states like North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia out of dire straits and into sustainable self-sufficiency.

Two Headed American Storytelling (Part I of II)
While browsing through eBay recently, I was astounded to see one doll at the epicenter of a bidding frenzy that had risen beyond the $1500 dollar mark. As someone who used to shave, paint, and otherwise defile her own childhood dolls, I was somewhat mystified at the excitement surrounding this plaything. I sensed somehow that a doll was not just a doll, but carried some deeper significance. There was a lot of money riding on this, after all.

Listening Skills and the Internet
the majority of students develop reading and writing skills before those of listening and speaking. This is, of course, in direct opposition to the way in which we acquire our first language. As a result of this topsy-turvy approach, the non-native speaker arriving for the first time in an Anglophone country often finds the language s/he hears all around completely incomprehensible. And to add insult to confusion, this same non-native speaker finds that no-one can understand his or her version of the English language either.
