Re: The Erl-king
You may already know the pretext for Carter's story, a ballad by Goethe. If not, there's a translation at www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/920.html

re the Erl-King
Thank you,
I knew nothing about the Goethe poem or the possible origins of the tale so your link has helped ..so thanks again.

Re: Erl King
Joan Aiken also wrote a children's story by this title.

Re: Erl King
Liz Hand wrote a wonderful modern take on the legend in her story The Erl-King, published in the Spectrum anthology series, in Volume 7 of the Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, and in her story collection Last Summer at Mars Hill.
