  Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod  

Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore that have shaped cultures throughout history. Some, like the stories of Aladdin, King Arthur, and Hercules are stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories you might not have heard, but really should. All the stories are sourced from world folklore, but retold for modern ears. These are stories of wizards, knights, Vikings, dragons, princesses, and kings from the time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous and wonderful place.

384: Turkish folklore: The Silent Princess

The story of the silent princess and the prince who definitely has been cursed by that strange woman in the street. He totally hasn't just psyched himself out thinking that if he doesn't meet the silent princess, he will die, forcing him and his tutor to go on a 15-month-long, stinky quest. The creature is the Abaia, the eel that loves life so much it kills everybody. Links!
