Project Idea: Stories from the Heptameron

The Heptameron is a collection of stories from the sixteenth century — something like Renaissance urban legends — by Margaret, Queen of Navarre.

Research Tip: You can read more about Margaret at Wikipedia, and you can find out more at the Heptameron unit here at the UnTextbook. There is a nice presentation of all the stories in the Heptameron at the Celebration of Women Writers, and you can find the book online: The Heptameron of Margaret, Queen of Navarre, translated by Walter K. Kelly.
