The Endless Tale is the title of a column on storytelling in the wonderful quarterly folk music magazine, Sing Out. It is written by Dan Keding, and also has the breathtakingly long subtitle of Storytelling: its events, tellers, stories, organizations, resources & points of discussion. Some of Dan’s columns open by telling specific short tales. Two examples are:
Spring 2008 - The old woman who outwitted death ( web link here).
Summer 2002 – A full cup (web link here)
The first column also contains a discussion of endings. The second column also contains a discussion of short (or small) tales, and lists four books that contain collections of them.

Folk songs are poetic tales set to music, like Richard Thompson’s Beeswing.
