History: Tall Tale Postcards

- 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.
- Legends of Fionn mac Cumhaill also known by many other British Isles' names including Finn MacCool, have it that he built the Giant's Causeway as stepping-stones to Scotland, so as not to get his feet wet; and that he also once scooped up part of Ireland to fling it at a rival, but it missed and landed in the Irish Sea — the clump became the Isle of Man and the pebble became Rockall, the void became Lough Neagh.
