  6. How did "prince rescuing princess from a tower" become such a universally referenced trope?

    Rapunzel doesn't get rescued by the prince. Actually none of the classic tower folktales I can think of (Canary Prince, Daughter of the Sun, Zal and Rudabeh, Maid Maleen etc.) actually involve the princess being rescued from the tower by the man.

    How did this become a thing?

  26. A unique #theatrical #performance inspired by #Yiddish #folktales features dead #Jews dancing at a cemetery, a prophet appearing in the form of a bunny rabbit and a stone-munching worm named Shamir. It all takes place within the confines of a 2’ X 4’ box known as a #cranky and it’s coming to #NewYork later this month as part of the International #Puppet #FringeFestival.

    For those unfamiliar with the decidedly low-tech medium, #crankies are portable stages through which a panorama is scrolled by cranking a pair of wooden dowels. The characters and scenery on the scroll are usually accompanied by #narration and #music, in this case a live #klezmer trio. In backlit crankies, #shadowpuppets can also be used for characters.

    The cranky performance of #ShternaandtheLostVoice was created by the #MagidEnsemble, a far-flung interdisciplinary collective that includes a #storyteller, a #graphicartist and three former members of the #Boston klezmer band #Mamaliga."

  31. The names of Peter Christen Asbjørnsen (1812–1885) and Jørgen Engebretsen Moe (1813–1882) are in Norway nothing less than synonymous with folktales and legends. Their collection comprises the most influential work of Norwegian literature of all time. It gave Ibsen material for his metrical masterpiece, Peer Gynt (1867), which in turn inspired some of Edvard Grieg’s best-known music. It alerts readers to the prospect of riding white bears across mountain and valley – whether princess or pauper – and introduces the troll to the world at large. Knowledge of these trolls has since spread, and now permeates popular culture, from Tolkien’s high-fantasy universe, to the sewer of Stephen King’s IT (1996), and throughout modern literature and media.

    I published the The Complete Norwegian Folktales and Legends of Asbjørnsen & Moe in paperback in 2024; now I am releasing an electronic edition in fifteen volumes.

  35. The names of Peter Christen Asbjørnsen (1812–1885) and Jørgen Engebretsen Moe (1813–1882) are in Norway nothing less than synonymous with folktales and legends. Their collection comprises the most influential work of Norwegian literature of all time. It gave Ibsen material for his metrical masterpiece, Peer Gynt (1867), which in turn inspired some of Edvard Grieg’s best-known music. It alerts readers to the prospect of riding white bears across mountain and valley – whether princess or pauper – and introduces the troll to the world at large. Knowledge of these trolls has since spread, and now permeates popular culture, from Tolkien’s high-fantasy universe, to the sewer of Stephen King’s IT (1996), and throughout modern literature and media.

    I published the The Complete Norwegian Folktales and Legends of Asbjørnsen & Moe in paperback in 2024; now I am releasing an electronic edition in fifteen volumes.

  36. #StorytellingPSA:

    The princess with the pea was faking it.

    In the folktale Andersen based his story on, the girl (a miller's daughter) knows she is being tested for royal blood, so she pretends to be overly sensitive. It's a female-protagonist version of Puss in Boots, basically.

    "But that's cheating!"

    Yeah. This is what you get when you put people through blood purity tests instead of paying attention to what kinda person they are.

  51. Wondering what the Fedi's mytho-poets, Jungian analysts, investigators of the subconscious, & archetype explorers make of the folk tale The Raven, collected by the Brothers Grimm, translated by an unknown person, and performed so well by
    Joey DeNoia at the link below.

    Very much interested in how you personally understand the story - not what you've found others saying about it.
