This was such an expansive course on Folklore, thanks so much to @commapress.bsky.social and Sophie Parkes~ great to have ‘Trash’ (my housing estate take on Little Red Riding Hood) included in the anthology too ❤️

📚FOLKLORE COURSE EBOOK
Taught & Edited by Sophie Parkes

But folklore is much bigger than that. We all have folklore.
