It doesn’t seem possible put it seems I haven’t shared a public domain post since 2015! There have been seven before this one and the links to those resources may be found at the end of the page. In this post you will find nature myths, tales of water-sprites, elves, devils, goblin, pourquoi tales and so much more.
I know there will be something special there for you that will jump off the page shouting, “Pick me! Tell me!” When you do, I would love it if you would share your discovery with me.
