Legend - according to Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore - is a short traditional oral narrative about a person, place, or object that really exists, existed, or is believed to have existed [...] it offers information, moral judgements, or warnings which reflect the preoccupations of the hearers.
In every legend there is a grain of truth. They combine facts and fiction, history and fantasy, and are often connected to objects, landmarks or buildings.
