Thread Name: Searching for a Ballad
Subject: Searching for a Ballad
There is a Child Ballad in which a stepmother is pretty obviously preparing to poison her stepdaughter, so the girl hurries out to a church, where she is able to consult her dead mother and ask her mother what she should do. The mother advises her to submit, so they will soon be together. Does anyone recognize this ballad?
