This episode is part of my Folklore Friday series, where I am sharing fascinating stories from Icelandic folklore on Fridays throughout 2024. What is a Skuggabaldur? The Skuggabaldur is a fascinating animal in Icelandic folklore. Whether or not this type of animal really exists is hard to say but there are some interesting stories about it. A Skuggabaldur is created when a female arctic fox and a male cat or Tom cat get together and procreate.If a male arctic fox and a female cat procreate, it is called a Skoffín. However, we are just going to focus on the Skuggabaldur for this episode. These animals are known to have very intense bites that inflict a lot of pain and death. Guns are not much use against them unless you are using silver bullets. The Most Popular Skuggabaldur Story One day in the north, particularly near Blönduós, a Skuggabaldur had been inflicting a lot of damage on the livestock in the area. The farmers there decided to hunt it down. They did eventually find the animal in Blöndugil, which is a small canyon in the area. One of the hunters ended up stabbing it.Before the Skuggabaldur was killed, it said to tell the Tom Cat at Bollastaðir that the Skuggabaldur had been stabbed in the canyon. The people that were witnesses to this thought it was quite strange that this creature had a message for a cat but whatever.The person who ended up stabbing and killing the Skuggabaldur was staying in Bollastaðir that evening. As he was recounting his story about killing the Skuggabaldur, he repeated what the message the creature has said to tell the Tom Cat.Well, there was a Tom Cat listening in the rafters to the story and when he heard what the Skuggabaldur had said, it lept down to attack the man. It sunk its claws and teeth deep into the man's neck and would not let go. The only way to stop the cat was to chop off its head. By that time, the man was already dead. I don‘t know if the Tom Cat was a relative of the Skuggabaldur but it certainly got revenge for its death. Random Fact of the Episode There is a book called “Skuggabaldur” by a well-known Icelandic poet and author named Sjón. In English, the book is called „The Blue Fox“. I have yet to read it but I want to. Apparently, knowing about the Skuggabaldur creature gives some deep insight into understanding all that is going on in this book.According to one reviewer of the book:"The Blue Fox," by Sjon, is a dark, yet playful and humorous fable about a kind man, an evil man, a simpleton, and a blue fox. It is about fate, life, and human nature. The novella deals with evil cloaked in religion and justice being delivered in mysterious ways. It is full of hidden meaning, subtlety, and delightful intellectually amusing diversions.” Icelandic Word of the Episode Skuggabaldur – roughly translates to a shadow cat Share this with a Friend Facebook Email Twitter Let's Be Social Youtube Tiktok Instagram Facebook Þakka þér kærlega fyrir að hlusta og sjáumst fljótlega.

Inspiratie nodig voor een leuk Nederlandstalig kinderboek? Madelief Debeij-Symons bespreekt dit keer 'Die kleine is Don, de lange is Sjon' van Catharina Valckx. ISBN: 9789045123974

Toen we schrijfster en illustratrice Catharina Valckx uitnodigden om te komen praten over haar nieuwe prentenboeken 'Vuurtje en de dikke steen' (Querido 4+) en 'Leentje op vakantie' (Gottmer 4+) wisten we nog niet dat ze op de dag van de opname verrast zou worden met een Zilveren Griffel voor 'Die kleine is Don, de lange is Sjon' (Querido 6+). In deze 47ste aflevering van De Grote Vriendelijke Podcast praten kinderboekrecensenten Jaap Friso (JaapLeest.nl) en Bas Maliepaard (Trouw) dus ook even over dat boek. Een gesprek over minimalisme, zo dood zijn als een theezakje, over absurde humor, de computer als toverdoos, over lief zijn zonder dat het klef is en een meisje met haar als een brandje. (Foto rechts van Chris van Houts: Catharina Valckx met Zilveren Griffel). Verwijzingen in deze aflevering Hier vind je het juryrapport (pdf) van de Zilveren Griffels 2021. Er komen in de aflevering verschillende boeken van Catharina voorbij, zoals 'Roek de Ridder' (De Harmonie 4+), de serie over cowboyhamster Billy (Gottmer 4+), 'De koning en de kip' (Gottmer 4+) en 'Otto spaart schelpen' (De Harmonie 4+). Samen met Nicolas Hubesch maakte ze 'Victor' (Gottmer 4+). De speech die Catharina hield bij de uitreiking van de Kinderboekwinkelprijs 2011 voor 'Poten omhoog!' lees je hier.

Ron is blij om zijn vader te zien, maar zijn moeder eh... niet zo. Sjon dient de paella op, maar de Heilige Kaka geeft zijn gasten niet de kans om hun bord leeg te eten...

Sondersendung: Weihnachtsbasar: Sjon Xhonneux in Slowenien

Plantenvriend Sjon Hartman kan niet zonder de Arabidopsis. Hij gebruikt de plant voor zijn onderzoek aan de Universiteit Utrecht om te ontdekken hoe planten kunnen overleven als ze overstromen.

Ron, Reus, Sjon en Kraai staan op het punt om aan boord te gaan van het schip van Pedro de Wonderpiraat. Maar eerst moeten ze kiezen tussen macaroni-oren of paphersens.

De piratenpolitie wil Ron en zijn vrienden een lesje leren. Maar dan zet kok Sjon zijn geheime wapen in...

Ron, Reus, Kraai en Sjon komen erachter dat ze in de gaten worden gehouden. En ze leren ook dat meeuwen niet zomaar voor de lol vuilniszakken openscheuren.

Kraai krijgt een magische pleister van Sjon en Ron belt zijn moeder. Oei, dat had hij beter niet kunnen doen!

Zeemeermin Trudy maakt het Ron, Reus en Kraai moeilijk. Maar gelukkig is daar Sjon van het gelijknamige café. Die doet Ron een onweerstaanbaar aanbod.
