The story goes, Jesus and St. Peter came begging one day to a house where a woman named Gertrude lived. She took a tiny piece of dough to make them a bannock, but it covered the whole griddle just the same, and she thought it too large to give to beggars. She tried twice more, each time with less dough, but could not make a bannock small enough. So she refused to give them anything with dire consequences for herself.

Even so, this does not cover all folklore from all four corners of the world. Indeed folklore, legends and myths from Africa, Australia, Polynesia, and some from Asia too, are altogether quite different and seem to have originated on the whole from separate reservoirs of lore, legend and culture.","brand":"Abela Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071620989168,"sku":"2940158474309","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158474309_p0.jpg?v=1764112305","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158474309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
