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 SPIDER, BY AUNT EFFIE, I wonder how many of you really like spider? Seli and Diddily have loads in the castle.


The Spider

A hungry spider made a web
Of thread so very fine,
Your tiny fingers scarce could feel
The little tender line.
Round-about, and round-about,
And round-about it spun,
Straight across and back again,
Until the web was done.

Oh, what a pretty shining web
It was when it was done!
The little flies all came to see
It hanging in the sun.
Round-about, and round-about,
And round-about they danced,
Across the web and back again
They darted and they glanced.

"I am hungry very hungry"
said the spider to a fly.
"If you were caught within the web,
You very soon would die."
But round-about, and round-about,
And round-about once more,
Across the web and back again
They flitted as before.

For all the flies were much to wise
To venture near the spider;
They flapped their little wings and flew
In circles rather wider.
Round-about, and round-about,
And round-about went they,
Across the web and back again,
And then they flew away.

This Rhyme was written in a book of Aunt Effie's Rhymes.
