| Summary: | The past half century has seen an ever increasing interest in the folktale. Folktales remain largely unknown except to a small group of specialists. Yet the subject is of great importance to all serious students of literature, of anthropology, of psychology, and of art in general. The goal of this book is therefore (1) to present the folktale as an important art, vital to most of the race and underlying all literary narrative forms; (2) to acquaint the reader with most of the great folktales of the world, not only for their own interest as stories by also as important elements of culture; and (3) to indicate the goals of the student of the narratives and the methods by which he works.
