There are many stories of sea serpents all around the world, so what makes the Caddy different? The Cadborosaurus is a supernatural being. There have been reported carcasses, but they turned out to be small whales or sharks. So, caddies have never been proven, but Canadians still believe in them. Learn more about the caddies. Begin today. 

Did you know that of all the sea monsters, it’s the Ogopogo that is best documented? This means you could be learning more about it in one go than you would with the Loch Ness monster. Remember that these monsters are myths, and proof of their existence is yet to be found. But wouldn’t it be fun to extend your knowledge beyond what you can see? 

Imagine this: the Sasquatch is a huge monster with blonde hair. With that distinguishing feature, the Sasquatch should be easy to spot, right? But like all other myths, there has never been any concrete proof to make the Sasquatch an undeniable truth.

The Wendigo is one scary monster that kills and eats its victims. Stories of the Wendigo haunt Canadians until today. The older people must have used the myth to teach the young not to be greedy and weak. That’s the beauty of myths. They are creative means to tell lessons, of course, with a side serving of fear, too. 

The Celtic folk tales collected by the leading British folklorist Joseph Jacobs (1854-1916) introduced the children of the world to the special vision and color, the unique magic of the Celtic folk imagination. Here are three stories from this timeless masterpiece, presenting the most colorful characters of it all: "King O'Toole and his Goose", "The Haughty Princess", "Jack and his Master".

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table. Which makes destiny a splendid thing for King Arthur and his noble knights, but what about a knight who is destined to bring disaster to everything he touches? Such a knight is poor Sir Balin, who bears the burden of a childhood prophecy of doom. And sure enough, whenever he’s around, things seem to go sour. Whether he’s battling an invisible knight or accidentally overthrowing kingdoms, Sir Balin does his best but always expects the worst.

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table. There was Sir Lancelot the Great, Sir Kay the Loyal, Sir Bedivere the Just, and others, including young Givret, who was known for being...well, short. Poor Givret: His size makes him so easy to overlook. But there’s more to knighthood than height, and before long, Givret’s quick thinking lands him a place at the famous Round Table!

The last thing Mason Starling remembers is the train crossing a bridge. An explosion...a blinding light...then darkness. Now she is alone, stranded in Asgard - the realm of Norse legend - and the only way for her to get home is to find the Spear of Odin, a powerful relic left behind by vanished gods. The Fennrys Wolf knows all about Asgard. He was once trapped there. And he'll do whatever it takes to find the girl who's stolen his heart and bring her back - even if it means a treacherous descent into the Underworld.

King Arthur’s Knights were brave like Sir Lancelot the Great. They were smart like Sir Givret the Short. But they didn’t always act quite as...gallantly as a true knight should. Even King Arthur’s nephew, known at that time as Sir Gawain the Undefeated, was too full of himself to accept a token of thanks from a rescued princess! Someone, like a giant Green Knight, needed to teach Sir Gawain that courtesy and friendship are just as important as strength and courage. Come ride along on this exciting year-long quest of Sir Gawain the Undefeated-but-who-may-learn-a-lesson-along-the-way.
