Although The Headless Horseman isn't strictly folklore, the story sets the tone for this eerie collection of stories. Classic folk tales, such as The Bunyip and The Brave Little Tailor, are included, along with stories from lesser-know origins, such as The Shadow, from Denmark, about a shadow that gradually takes over the life of its human, and Abena and the Python, a West African tale about a vain young woman who mistakenly marries a snake.
