Note 16 — YVON ET FINETTE.[16]
Reading edition
Brittany is the most westerly province of France. The people, who are called Bretons, are descendants of the ancient Celts. They have a language of their own, are very imaginative, and delight in extravagant tales like this one, which is one of their special favorites. Laboulaye also gives a version of this tale in his "Fairy Book."
