Thread Name: Folklore: Sources of Fairy Tales
Subject: RE: Folklore: Sources of Fairy Tales
A somewhat whimsical corruption of old legends popped up recently in the Astronomy section of the news. The article is a bit long, and rather "twisted" but it would be interesting to see if anyone else sees this as "an example of folk processing." (The author hasn't written the new story, but imagines a link between old stories and new ones.)
