History: Tall Tale Postcards

- The Cumbrian Liars, a United Kingdom association who follow in the seven-league footsteps of Will Ritson.
- A brown bear coating himself in baking soda to be acceptable to humans as a polar bear, a young boy selling frozen words, and a woman whose voice cuts through a giant tree to release oranges that light the Polar night are all tales told by a Pomor elder in the Soviet animation film Laughter and Grief by the White Sea.
- French Canadian tales of Big Joe Mufferaw include the story of him putting out a forest fire with spitballs. Perhaps disappointingly, it required five, but then, he was fifty miles away.
- The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel by the French writer Rabelais told the tale of two giants; father and son.
