Seligor's Castle. The home of Seligor, Diddilydeedot, Dodie, and Dr. Do-Diddily and the Dee-Dot's.

Seligor's Castle is where Seligor, Dr. Do-Diddily and the Dee-Dot's,
Diddilydeedot in Dreamland,
and Dodie's Dream World all work on their websites.
They are all within the children range, though Dodie's does have a lot more classical stuff on it and the little ones might find it a bit boring.
I have just opened a couple of wee nursery pages though just in case you have one on your knee, :)

Each site has it's own home page and index, and I have been very careful not to repeat to many rhymes etc, though Toby and Tilly are in both the Castle and Dreamland and now Diddilydeedot around the world. I have mad up most of the play lists from YouTube and google. But please always check these as sometimes you get the odd person who thinks its smart to change the content. I have looked through almost 7,000 videos on you tube alone, so you can imagine how many there are.
Many of the stories, myths tales, rhymes come from books well past their hundredth birthday. I have always collected old books and up until recently sold many on Amazon. But now I use all my spare time on the websites and blogging sites.
Then there are songs to sing, many, many new rhymes to learn and pass on to the future generations.
I have been on line over fours year now and also have my Zoomshare, Wordpress, Delicious, Twitter and Facebook. Best wishes xxx Seligor

The Story of the Sunflower

daisy sunflowerdaisy Myth and Legends

The Legend of the Sunflower

from Cristina and Andreea
(Alexandru Papiu Ilarian Dej )
in Transylvania - Romania


Long ago there was an emperor who had a beautiful daughter.
One day she fell in love with the Sun and went after him until she
arrived at his castle. When the Sun came home in the evening,
he put his golden carriage into the stable and took care of the horses and when he saw the girl he fell in love with her.
They got married, but they couldn't live but in the dark
as who would see the Sun would become a flower.
One night, being very curious how he looked like,
the girl looked at him having a little candle in her
hand and she kissed him. Suddenly the Sun woke up and cursed her,
so the girl changed into a beautiful flower who would
continually turn around after the Sun and that is why people call it Sunflower.

I keep placing what I think are pretty lovely Blogs on my site. Maybe I am not putting the right kind of thing on, maybe the blog should be about myself but I would much rather it pertain to the children watching. Can anyone help with this dilemma. Seli alias diddily alias Dodie
