Every year we assemble the sources of all the tales nominated for the exchange for everyone to read, enjoy, and work from the same canon for their stories!

Now that nominations are open, I thought I might include the source sheets from all our previous years that you can browse through for old or new favourites, as well as offer a spot for you to sell people on your favourite tale!

Format for recommendations:


Here's a simple format to follow:

<B>Story Name</B>:
<B>Story link (OPTIONAL)</B>:
<B>What makes this tale awesome</B>:



Example:

Story Name: The Girl Who Became a Boy (Albanian Fairy Tale)
Story Link: http://www.albanianliterature.net/folktales/tale_07.html
What makes this tale awesome: Not only does it have the girl getting the girl, this caper-like story features a sassy talking horse and tax-evading snakes. Also the importance of mother and son relationships. This is different from the also nominated Violet Fairy Book version in that no one gets murdered and again, the snakes.

There seem to be no problems with the tagset, so sign ups may open early. No promises.
