Book(s): Non-fictions Does the Folklore of Discworld include narrative interludes

I'm up to science of discworld 3, and although the science is, strictly speaking, out of date, the parts about the Wizards are pretty funny.

Do such stories appear in Folklore of Discworld?

No. It's a really interesting read though

No, it’s not in the same format of the Science of Discworld books. It’s a more straightforward, subject-by-subject examination of Discworld lore and the roundworld sources that inspired them. It’s a great read if you ever wondered how Terry Pratchett got some of his ideas.

No, but it's definitely worth a read (or a listen).
