#LegendaryWednesday: The `Summer Land/Country` is a name used in some texts to describe the land of #Meleagant, the ogre who held queen #Guinevere hostage until the fine Knight #Lancelot rescued her. It is also often used to describe the #Celtic #Otherworld, where the weather is always fair, flowers bloom endlessly, and fruit hangs ripe off the trees.
