Folktales, Fairy Tales & Epics From Around the World - Page 5

Covering countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, & cultures from Japan's Aino to the Zarma of Niger. Some countries represented by anthologies. I specialize in older collections but tried to include more recent collections. This list is just a sampling. Many authors wrote other books, so check them out. For more info check Appendix B in Stith Thompson's study 'The Folktale' (2/3 of the books are in French or German though). For some cool websites see www.worldoftales.com, fairytalez.com, surlalune.com, www.pitt.edu/~-dash/folktexts.html & sacred-texts.com- all have stories & collections to read. For a huge list of books see freebookapalooza.blogspot.com, from the University of Oklahoma's Laura Gibbs. That was a big help for me. Another interesting one is Tormod Kinnes' site The Gold Scales at http://oaks.nvg.org.
