Subject: RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter & Child Ballads
I've only just started reading this thread ... so if anyone is interested in the Exeter Book riddles (the Anglo Saxon riddles), this here is a blog I follow that gives the riddles in OE, translation, and commentary.

They are not really similar to the riddles in Child 1: they are all much longer, more complicated, and the answers are not given and are not always obvious ...
