I was using Google Translate to scan through a German folktale. Which is how the king and queen of water popped up as Father Wet and Mrs. Moist.

Today's find at a small thrift store. The title caught my eye: although in #Utrecht, the book appeared to be #Frisian. And indeed, it contains #folktales in Frisian, told by Steven de Bruin, last of the storytellers in a family of boaters and people from what we call 'De Heide' ('Heath').
