About This Book

A poetic retelling of regional folk tales that blends short narratives, mythic origin stories, and moral anecdotes. The collection ranges from intimate family-based tales of loss and supernatural kinship to larger-than-life episodes where giants reshape the landscape and rivers or waterfalls gain their origins. Other pieces depict uncanny beings, witches and werewolf lore, treasure legends, and small didactic sketches involving clergy and beggars, all presented with folkloric motifs and lyrical embellishment.
