A collection of 12 short stories that seem derived from Breton folklore. She beat the Grimm's Brothers by 700 years in gathering fairy tales. The tales were sometimes well constructed and other times they had no real ending. Written in the early 1200s these stories had elements of postmodernism. One story was written by the protagonist writing about the protagonist. It doesn't really look that cool when written down, I guess it was something a person had to be there.
This was my second time reading this, and I imagine it would be a good source for investigating allegories, but I'm on vacation. Maybe some other time.
