Ardenne

[Tellus]

Do anyone have a (or even better: multiple) good source(s) on myth and folklore covering the Ardenne area, preferbly in English?

I occasionally hunt around for such things for my Rhine saga. If I come across anything specific, I'll let you know, but I tend to work from wikipedia articles and so on.

Edit to add: I've also found a few French-language websites which give a few little bits-and-pieces. Using Google Translate, they are reasonably easy to follow but they might not be in-depth enough for your requirements.

Have a look at the work of Albert Meyrac, especially at Les Ardennes, contes et légendes derived from his work:

À partir des recherches d’Albert Meyrac, nous avons sélectionné pour vous 150 contes et légendes attachés à des lieux précis des Ardennes : La table de Francheval, Les poux de la sorcière (Omont), La louve de Rocquigny, La roche sanglante (Laifour), Le moine chasseur (Braux), Le puiset des Nonnes (Harricourt-Germont), La brebis de Chagny…
Au fil de ces légendes choisies par Maryline Maillet, les dessins des personnages fantastiques créés par Hervé Gourdet vont s’assembler aux photos des paysages des Ardennes de Jean-Marie Lecomte.

I am not aware of translations to English, though.

Cheers

That.... rather limits it's usefulness to me sadly, as my french is somewhere between "useless" and "non-existant".

But thanks for the links anyway, I'll se what I can do with them

That's the general problem with research into folklore: there are very few people really interested in local legends, who do not also speak the local language. You are a rare bird and just have to live up to it.

Les Ardennes, contes et légendes is out of print at its small publishing house, but Amazon France still has a copy at some 50 Euros: amazon.fr/Ardennes-contes-l ... 3%A9gendes
