@TarkabarkaHolgy I'm currently reading a series of articles by Rikard Berge, a prolific Norwegian folklorist of the early 20. century, treating the style of the folktale. Based on his considerable collection experience, he is able to identify elements given in written folktales that no tradition bearer would ever utter. These additions go back to the earliest published collections.Learning such secrets will protect us from the grift until the bubble bursts.Unfortunately, the articles are all but untranslatable because of the reproduction of oral performances.[Now posting from the right account. Sorry about the interuption.]
