5 The Unborn Girl and other Bulgarian Magical Tales
The book is not published yet
-I have just completed my project, based on magical Bulgarian Tales. I am retelling about 20 of them in English and researching their past, provenance, origins and how and where variants of them could be found. I have to conclude, that many of them are exceptionally old, and some – absolutely unique – without an equivalent in the fairy tale history of the world. My theory is, that they have been brought over by the Proto-Bulgarians on their way from the east to the Balkans, as they carry elements of both the places they started from and those the passed by and lived with some time. There will be examples of this work on my site as soon as possible. I am looking for publishers .
