Recently though I have enjoyed reading some very different tales from other countries. "The Magic Porridge Pot" tells how things can turn out if you do something nice and the end leaves you guessing. For some reason I also enjoyed "The Starlight Cloak" even though it seemed to be a mix of 2 tales, Cinderella and Johah and the whale set in Ireland.<br />Thanks for this wonderful site.Nina Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258343671886309315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-36870907794544064412009-09-29T07:58:55.962-05:002009-09-29T07:58:55.962-05:00One of my favorite folktales is Johnny Appleseed. ...One of my favorite folktales is Johnny Appleseed.

My favorite folktales are "The Selkie Bride" and "The Sea-Morgan's Baby", two Irish folktales about the selkie or mer-people. "The Secret of Roan Innish", a favorite movie of mine from a few years back, is drawn from these tales. I love the selkie stories because they remind me of my grandfather, a Scots-Irish story-teller of the old tradition--wise women, people of the sea, lonely fisherman---its all there.<br />Leanne :)<br />writerlady67@comcast.netLeanne Pankuchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423702547675504711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-59520026226833853082009-09-28T14:28:34.849-05:002009-09-28T14:28:34.849-05:00No need to enter me (although my daughter's te...No need to enter me (although my daughter's teacher would love to hear about this book!).
