There were some three stories featuring a girl who is drowned/eaten/etc and then 'lives' in a musical instrument which a beggar makes from a plant which grows nearby...and the stories get more similar as they go on. Still, it was somewhat interesting to see the variations, and anyway I like to see variants of this story, which exists in many forms, such as the 'Singing Bone' tales, as well in several folksong variations.

Anyway, though it seemed that there was a deal of repetition in the stories of this book, they were still interesting, and entertaining enough to read.
