The Dead Moon
The Dead Moon is a traditional Fenland folk tale from Lincolnshire, first recorded in the Quarterly Review of Folk-lore in 1891 by Mrs C.M.Balfour. A modern version of the tale, called The Moon and the Badger, written by Peter Daldorph, is shown here, alongside the original. Both stories are told by storyteller, Malcolm Busby.
