Hi Kay,

I love the story of Maid Maleen, it is one of my favorites to tell. The
original tale is from Grimm's but Nancy Burke, Texas teller, had done an amazing
job of adapting it. You can find it in Best Stories told at the Texas
Storytelling Festival. Also, Clever Manka, many versions, one found in Best-Loved
Folktales of the World by Joanna Cole page 447.

Lots of terrific tales in this book as well:

Also, Jackie Baldwin offers a wonderful array of stories at her site. This is
just one of the many sections she has lovingly compiled.

I hope this helps.

Warm wishes,
