The Folklore of Discworld - Terry Pratchett	Terry Pratchett; Jacqueline Simpson	The Folklore of Discworld			.epub	application/epub+zip	112320	6833	82	Of course it's perfectly natural that Mrs Gogol's house moves about on four large duck feet, because Baba Yaga's hut spins around on chicken legs in the forests of Russia; of course the Nac Mac Feegle are pictsies, not pixies, because of stories the Scots told about Picts; of course there's an ancient king sleeping in a cavern deep under a mountain in Lancre, because that's what King Arthur does in England and Scotland, and the Emperor Barbarossa in Germany. A healthy young couple out in the country and in a world without modern medical understanding or any idea of the meaning of the term 'limited gene pool', give birth to a child who looks like a little old man, or is beautiful but very backward, or eats incessantly but nevertheless fails to thrive … and the only reason the family can find lies in folklore: 'the fairies stole our beautiful child and left one of their own.' A horrible thought, yet not quite so horrible for the parents as one religious alternative: 'It's our own fault the baby is like this, it's a judgement on us for our sins.'	./cache/The Folklore of Discworld - Terry Pratchett.epub	./txt/The Folklore of Discworld - Terry Pratchett.txt
