Anne Godlid, born ca. 1773 and died November 4, 1863, was a well known Norwegian storyteller from the county of Telemark. She was a valuable source for collectors like Jørgen Moe and Magnus Brostrup Landstad. The folklorist Rikard Berge wrote of her: "She carried with her one of the greatest treasures of old folklore found in one single person. Therefore, her name is worth remembering." On her later days, she went crooked down with a staff, often mumbling to herself. It was said she communicated with the secondary world, and went at once in both worlds. Source
