А вы знали, что исходник The Corpse Bride -- сказка про российского еврея?

The Corpse Bride is a story based on actual events that occurred in 19th century Russia, at a time when anti-semitism was widespread in eastern Europe. Very often bands of anti-semites would waylay a Jewish wedding party on their way to the wedding. And because the bride would be the one to bear future generations, she would be ripped out of the carriage and murdered. She would then be buried in her wedding gown.

"Once upon a time there was a young man who lived in a village in Russia. He was to be married and he and his friend prepared to go to the village where his bride-to-be lived, two days walk from his own village" (дальше читать тут)

да, прекрасная история :-) Интересно, нет ли каких отголосков на русском; откуда они взяли легенду.

И правда, везде.

Ага, кстати. Это очень похоже на историю про диббука, которую мы в университете по еврейской литературе проходили...
