Aine, darlin, just a point of pendantics, if there is such a thing:-)...my stories aren't really "as told by" they are just "by", as they are original. It wouldn't matter as much, except that you had mentioned others retelling/writing known tales from folklore, in which case the "as told by" would be more applicable. Sorry to be a pain....luvyaLOTS and it IS so good to *hear* you, again! Thank you, thank you,thank you!luvyakat
