[Artemisia] Kingdom Folk Tales (was Terence's Artemisian Tales)

[Dame Rachel (Thaya Shaeffer)]

Dearest Tangle and all Good Cousins,
What an interesting idea, perhaps using the Canterbury Tales only as a very general format, but watching out for and limiting of the 'bawdyness.' ( Sorry we did not get to hear this 'maiden presentation'  as Tor and I also had a lovely time at Spring Thaw / Spring Feast but were not able to stay for the evening festivities).  I think that a collection of "Kingdom Tales" would be worth compiling.  Tales which might than form sort of an oral tradition by taking the fun, interesting, or newsworthy life-lessons learned, parts of our Kingdom's history and creating them into story form for re-telling.  Sort of a collection of Artemisia Folk-Tales / Oral Traditions, such as the "King John the First and the Happy Dance."
Shalom,
Dame Rachel

After Terence's successful maiden performance at Spring Thaw (Gosh, Aurelia, doesn't that just sound NAUGHTY!), I am convincing him to possibly go for the cloak. As such, we came up with a great idea, regardless of whether he goes for/achieves the Bard of Artemisia title. He wants to go over period stories and learn them for telling. I thought a great idea might be to read through The Canterbury Tales and then come up with The Artemisian Tales, based upon Chauncer's stories. So, all you authenticity mavins out there, put your money where your mouth is, and let's get some suggestions about who in Artemisia might be appropriate for a take off on the Artemisian Tales! It's almost guaranteed I have a story about nearly every person in the kingdom that I've met. Toss some names out here and let's see what we can do! Tanglnaughty
