About the story
What’s with this “Wren” thing?
   The oldest extant version of the fable we are presenting here appeared in 1913 in the first volume of a two-volume anthology of Low Saxon folktales (Plattdeutsche Volksmärchen “Low German Folktales”) collected by Wilhelm Wisser (1843–1935). Read more ...

This includes numerous people that are not and have never been members of Lowlands-L (marked below with *). They deserve a special round of applause. And another round ... Give it up for family collaboration: two dad-and-daughter teams (the Chakmakians [Armenian] and the Soysals [Turkish and Crimean]), also the Adecer twin sisters (Boholano), as well as the Roerdinkholder team consisting of the Lowlands-L member Ingmar, his wife Barbara and his grandmother Janna Geertruida! How cool is that?! (Not to mention the considerable “cuteness” factor, of course.) Thanks to all of them, in all their language varieties!

Unfortunately, Geertruida Roerdinkholder-Hesselink passed away in the meantime, as did Clara Kramer-Freudenthal. We will remember them.
