This is just all kinds of delightful:

Giant Trolls in Detroit Lakes Bring the Public on a Fairy Tale Adventure

The Danish artist has continued to expand his work in America and has just completed his most ambitious project ever with Alexa’s Elixir. Located in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, the exhibition takes people on a journey to solve a riddle and find a Golden Rabbit.

Sculptor, recycling artist and activist Thomas Dambo makes giant trolls and shares them with the rest of us. And when they say “giant,” they mean it!

If you happen to be in the Detroit Lakes area of Minnesota, this looks like a lot of fun.

How much do I love this? 

101-Year-Old Grace Linn: ‘Banning Books and Burning Books Are the Same’

“Banning books and burning books are the same. Both are done for the same reason: fear of knowledge,” Linn said. “They’re afraid that people will know better than they did.”

But each generation should know better, do better, and be better, Linn said. Society can’t grow and evolve without the education and empathy-building that come from the free exchange of thoughts shared through books.

All the hearts, forever.
