- In this sequel to the article in the August edition of Folklore on the early German prose text Fortunatus, the history of the Wishing-Hat is continued up to the present with selective examples. Two major themes-the moral implications of invisibility, and the nature of movement through time and space-are examined in detail with reference to such texts as the Nibelungenlied, the tales of the Brothers Grimm, Plato's... Ring of Gyges fable, Keats's Lamia, Wells's Invisible Man, and Pullman's His Dark Materials Trilogy.
