Yes, in English only. I've googled it and I can find some things, but they aren't really from legit sites. As it's for a college project, I need accredited sources.

Polish Folklore.

I'd be delighted to read about Polish folklore, superstition, the odd local legend or even a typical Polish fairytale.

The search function on this sight is quite good, Kudos to Admin!

Thank you, but I should probably inform you that I'm currently unable to read Polish. I've already tried a variety of search engines, and the results have been limited to say the least. Quite the disappointment actually, I somehow expected to find much more reading material.

I've read the previous thread, and surely another attempt at reviving this particular subject couldn't do much harm? Suffice to say I'm none the wiser.

I do know one story though! (Just can't seem to remember the title!)

Well, Wiki can be your friend!

A collection of Polish Folklore - check the bottom for some English titles that may be available at your local library

Then there is the story of a mysterious black limo

Also, check out the story about a Duck living beneath a castle, with fabulous riches.

Well, I still live in Holland, and I'm pretty sure my library has very little to offer when it comes to books or novels by Polish authors. It's much easier when you know what to look for isn't it?

:)

Thanks!

Plk123 mentioned the ritual of sending off winter. That might be the legend of Marzanna. You can google it.

I don't know much about Polish folklore and legends, but I would like to hear your stories if you know any. (Local stories aswell!)

:)
