Index to Fairy Tales, Myths and Legends

Have you ever wondered where our favorite fairy tales originated, or why, since many of them don’t even involve fairies, are they even called fairy tales? While the history of fairy tales is particularly difficult to trace due to their being a part of an oral tradition, literary evidence indicates that they’ve existed for thousands of years. Every country has them! In fact, many of our favorite tales have appeared in multiple cultures, simultaneously. The detailed cross references from one story to another are intended to aid storytellers by suggesting similar stories and special topics such as holidays, stars, flowers, etc. For anyone interested in collecting, teaching or reading children's fairy tales, this book is a must!
