This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I know from reading a reading in a Spanish textbook once that Foila's tale,
"The Armigette's Daughter," comes from a Latin American folktale called "El
Pajaro de Siete Colores," or "The Bird of Seven Colours." What I would like=
 to
know is: where do the other tales told in the Urth cycle come from? The
several tales of the Book of Wonders of Urth and Sky and the other tales to=
ld
at the lazaret?
Any help would greatly illuminate me on the folklore of Urth.
