Counts reflect the Atlas catalogue. A link may represent a recording, a publication or an association with a local tradition.
The Atlas dates Petre Ispirescu’s Romanian collection and Andrew Lang’s English version of The Enchanted Pig separately. In both texts, a book opened at court foretells the marriage. Iron shoes later give a sense of how long the journey away from court lasts.
