Part of our role in the Sharing Stories project was to find Scottish stories which complimented or echoed the stories we had heard from Syria or Sudan. We chose The Well at the Worlds End, because we heard a few different variations of the story in which a young woman is sent into the woods to fetch something - a sieve, some water -usually from a magical source.
This story also blends in elements of the more familiar Frog Prince story, but with something much more unexpected than a kiss to break that spell...
A version in Arabic is available on youtube.
