Lore of Yore

10 Folk Tales and Legends to be Proud Of
The stories in this collection reflect a side of folklore that you might not have seen before. They talk about heroes who love people of the same gender, gods who change between male and female to suit their needs, and beings who don't bother with either in the first place.

Folk tales and legends are like a mirror - they reflect the cultures who create them, and tell us about people who might have lived hundreds of years ago on the other side of the world.
