In Germany, at the border of Silesia and Bohemia, there is a great mountain range: the Riesenberg. Folklore says that a mighty spirit lived there, the Spirit of the Mountain, which the locals nicknamed Ripplethal, meaning "the one who counts the radishes." This spirit would often interfere in people's affairs to punish the wicked and protect the good, and the people loved it because it was always fair.

Kira Sinou, from the hundreds of myths in this region about the Spirit of the Mountain, has chosen the most representative ones and presents them here with her unmatched style.
