More English Fairy Tales, LVI. Tattercoats, sentence 10

It is practically a prose variant of _King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid_, and is thus an instance of the folk-novel pure and simple, without any admixture of those unnatural incidents which transform the folk-novel into the serious folk-tale as we are accustomed to have it.

Who acts: pipe, unnatural incidents · What happens: be, transform, accustom, have, admix · To what, where: prose variant, instance, folk novel, serious folk tale, we, pipe
