Index

To make it slightly easier to navigate through the older posts, I have created this index page. I have ordered the list of posts alphabetically according to the translated English titles of the ballads. So if you are searching for a Scandinavian name, it may be necessary to use your browser's search function ... or to search manually on this page (actually it's not very long as you can see). Bear in mind that many of the ballads go by more than one name, and that proper names are often spelled in more than one way!
