Chapter LXXXVII: Princess of Canterbury

Text size

_Source._--I have inserted into the old chap-book version of the _Four Kings of Colchester, Canterbury_, &c., an incident entitled by Halliwell "The Three Questions."

_Parallels._--The "riddle bride wager" is a frequent incident of folk-tales (see my List of Incidents); the sleeping tabu of the latter part is not so common, though it occurs, _e.g._, in the Grimms' _Twelve Princesses_, who wear out their shoes with dancing.
