Summary
Once there lived a girl in a small village close to the sea. She was a diligent girl, but not one people expected much of. Her family had all passed on when she was still quite young and so she had gone into service, passing from house to house as chance would have. But her fortune was made when the local carpenter offered her a job as his housekeeper.

They put the farmer in the box, and they put the box in the ground, and they put his memory in their hearts.
But the next day the strong and fresh-faced farmer came home. The awful wound from his terrible accident was gone without a scar, and when his family asked him, quite terrified, how he was and how he came to be there, he merely said, "I don't remember. But I've never been better."

I don't know the source material, but I don't feel I needed to. This is a rich, wonderful, spooky tale.
