Since sharing screenshots of my translated German folk tales is not great for #accessibility reasons, I have decided to slowly put by backlog on a wiki and simply link them from here.
I've installed the wiki and come up with a basic structure for how to organize and present the tales. And I would like to hear your thoughts on the structure so far - it is easier to fix things when the wiki only has 5 tales instead of 500.
Silk embroidered fox by Helen Richman, professional embroiderer, UK #WomensArt The fox appears in the folklore of many cultures and is associated with cunning, playfulness and tricks or as a familiar animal possessed of magic powers #Folklore
Digging into the "Gift of the Little People" folktale type (ATU 503), where someone joins the singing of fairies and gets rewarded for it. The human usually adds a few days to the song of "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday!", delighting the fairies.
Hungarian versions, once again, have to be extra about it.
Instead of singing fairies, we have singing skeletons. And they get angry when someone adds "Monday" to their song.
Highly relatable.
