Ovens
Does anyone know of a folktale about a portal through a well, and something about an oven? The main characters are a young girl and an old woman.

Re: Ovens
The closest I can think of for this one would be something like 'Mother Holle'
In this story, a girl jumps down a well after loosing her bucket down it and finds herself in the land of Frau Holle, where she comes across an oven full of bread. The loaves of bread ask her to pull them out because they are ready and will start to burn if they're not removed.

You Found It! :)
Yes, that is the very one! I was remebering 'Mother Holly', a book based on that tale that was referred on the link you gave me. Thank you! :)
