The annotations for the Swan Maidens fairy tale are below. Sources have been cited in parenthetical references, but I have not linked them directly to their full citations which appear on the Swan Maidens Bibliography page. I have provided links back to the Annotated Swan Maidens to facilitate referencing between the notes and the tale.

I have included Joseph Jacobs' notes to the tale followed by SurLaLune's textual annotations.
