The Folktale
As interest in folklore increases, the folktale acquires greater significance for students and teachers of literature. The material is massive and scattered; thus, few students or teachers have accessibility to other than small segments or singular tales or material they find buried in archives. Stith Thompson has divided his book into four sections which permit both the novice and the teacher to examine oral tradition and its manifestation in folklore. The introductory section discusses the nature and forms of the folktale. A comprehensive second part traces the folktale geographically from Ireland to India, giving culturally diverse examples of the forms presented in the first part. The examples are followed by the analysis of several themes in such tales from North American Indian cultures. The concluding section treats theories of the folktale, the collection and classification of folk narrative, and then analyzes the living folklore process. This work will appeal to students of the sociology of literature, professors of comparative literature, and general readers interested in folklore.

Märchen von Bäumen
Im Märchen sind auch Bäume etwas Wundersames: Die einen wachsen bis in den Himmel und stellen so eine Verbindung zwischen zwei Welten her, andere tragen besondere Früchte, wieder andere sprechen oder singen und einige helfen den Protagonisten, ihr Ziel zu erreichen. Es kommen Verwandlungen von Menschen in Bäume vor und es gibt noch manch anderen ungeahnten Aspekt, von dem diese Sammlung internationaler Volksmärchen erzählt.
