The mysterious history of medieval magic, wizards, and sorcerers

We've all heard countless stories of wizards (who were born as mere mortals but learned magic) and sorcerers (who were born with magic but had to learn to master it).

The dramatic life of Jean Harlow, Hollywood's original "Blonde Bombshell"

Before Marilyn Monroe, there was Jean Harlow. A glamorous screen star known for her dazzling blonde locks and her racy style of dress, she was the talk of Hollywood in the early 1930s. The first of the "Blonde Bombshell" actresses, the screen siren made her name based on her looks, but won over critics with her quick wit in comedy films. Sadly, the star died at the top of her game, a life cut short aged just 26. Her short life was marked by professional success and behind-the-scenes tragedy, with multiple marriages and a second husband who took his own life. And those blonde locks came at a price, too, as you'll find out. So, how did the star's life come to end in tragedy?

How to nurture your child’s creativity

We tend to assign creativity to certain people and not to others, as if it's something you're born with and can't be taught. The reality is, however, that we are all capable of fostering creativity in ourselves and others, particularly children. Kids can exercise their creativity and imagination in countless ways, from art to music and play. It helps them to develop socially, emotionally, and academically, so it's just as important to encourage them to play and create as it is to make sure they're doing their homework and finishing their chores. Click through the following gallery to learn more about the role creativity plays in your child's development and how you can nurture this aspect of them.

These books had to be rewritten

Most people assume that once a book is published, that's the permanent record, and it's too late for any do-overs. But the truth is that just because an author signs off on a book, it doesn't mean it can't be rewritten. Some writers are simply never completely satisfied with their work, and will go back after it's published to make changes. Other books had to be rewritten, with racist terms removed and passages of text amended. From Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' (1818) to Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (1964), click on for books that were edited even after they'd been published.
