Notes

  • Epigraph: The six shirts were finished, except for the one that still lacked its left sleeve. ... The moment the shirts touched them, their swan skins fell off, and there stood her brothers, strong and handsome. Only the youngest lacked his left arm and had a swan's wing in place of it. - 'The Six Swans.'
