Content descriptions
- General Note:
- Versions of this story have been collected by folklorists in the mountains of Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Similar tales have also been found in Scotland and Scandinavia. The motif of a beast marriage, in which a bewitched lover cannot return to human form until a woman's love proves stronger than the spell, can be found in stories all over the world. Perhaps the best known version is the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast." -- Author's note
