The Grey Goose Feather
This story appears in British Folk Tales and Legends – A Sampler, collected by Katharine Briggs, and published in 1977. She cites her source as WH Barrett, who heard the tale from an old fen-man, Chafer Legge, in 1900 and collected it for his Tales from the Fens in 1963. I have no idea if it is true or not. I like to think it is.
