Once Upon a Time

Among all the birds of the old storybooks, none is more magical than the raven. Ravens belong to the family of Corvids, birds famed the world over for solving puzzles and riddles. Our books are named in their honour.

Every page is painted like a manuscript from a fairy tale, full of gold-leaf borders, castles, dragons, knights and flowers. But look closer. The knights are rival fandoms, the royal proclamation is last week's viral post, and the wise old riddle is about your group chat. The book is about pop culture, right now: the shows, the music, the memes, the celebrities and the headlines everyone is talking about this month.

What am I?

Unseen I dwell in every hall,
No body have I, yet answer all.
Sever my bond and the whole court moans;
Speak thou my secret word, and I am thine own.

Reveal the answer

I am thy Wi-Fi, and my secret word is the password.
