@Ellirahim@ohai.social They are - which is why I translated them. 😉

Early on in my research on German folklore, I read a contemporary collection of folk tales from the Mecklenburg area, and it used " Sagen, Märchen und Gebräuche aus Mecklenburg" as one of its main sources. Which is why so many of the tales in the early stages of my translation work are drawn from this work in particular.
