Folktales and Fairy Tales: Traditions and Texts from around the World, 2nd Edition [4 volumes]

Encyclopedic in its coverage, this one-of-a-kind reference is ideal for students, scholars, and others who need reliable, up-to-date information on folk and fairy tales, past and present. Folktales and fairy tales have long played an important role in cultures around the world. They pass customs and lore from generation to generation, provide insights into the peoples who created them, and offer inspiration to creative artists working in media that now include television, film, manga, photography, and computer games. This second, expanded edition of an award-winning reference will help students and teachers as well as storytellers, writers, and creative artists delve into this enchanting world and keep pace with its past and its many new facets. Alphabetically organized and global in scope, the work is the only multivolume reference in English to offer encyclopedic coverage of this subject matter. The four-volume collection covers national, cultural, regional, and linguistic traditions from around the world as well as motifs, themes, characters, and tale types. Writers and illustrators are included as are filmmakers and composers--and, of course, the tales themselves. The expert entries within volumes 1 through 3 are based on the latest research and developments while the contents of volume 4 comprises tales and texts. While most books either present readers with tales from certain countries or cultures or with thematic entries, this encyclopedia stands alone in that it does both, making it a truly unique, one-stop resource. Provides encyclopedic coverage of folktales and fairy tales from around the globe Covers not only the history of the fairy tale, but also topics of contemporary importance such as the fairy tale in manga, television, pop music, and music videos Brings together the study of geography, culture, history, and anthropology Revises and expands an award-winning work to now include a full volume of selected tales and texts Cover About the pagination of this eBook Volume 1 Half Title Title Copyright Contents Guide to Related Topics Preface Acknowledgments Introduction Guide to Tale-Type, Motif, Migratory Legend, and Ballad References Used in the Entries A Aarne, Antti (1867–1925) Aceval, Nora (1953– ) Achebe, Chinua (1930–2013) Adaptation Advertising Aesop (Sixth Century BCE) Afanas’ev, Aleksandr (1826–1871) African American Tales African Tales Age Aïsha Kandisha Aladdin Albanian Tales Alcott, Louisa May (1832–1888) Alcover, Antoni Maria (1862–1932) Alexander, Lloyd (1924–2007) Ali Baba Alice in Wonderland Films “All Fur,” Alvarez, Julia (1950– ) Amades, Joan (1890–1959) Amano Yoshitaka (1952– ) Anansi Andersen, Hans Christian (1805–1875) Andersen, Hans Christian, in Biopics Anderson, Walter (1885–1962) Andersson, Christina (1936– ) Anecdote Animal Bride, Animal Groom Animal Tale Animation Anime Anno Mitsumasa (1926– ) Anthropological Approaches Anti-Fairy Tale Anti-Semitism Anzaldúa, Gloria (1942–2004) Aphorisms Apuleius, Lucius (c. 124–c. 170 CE) Arab Tales Arabian Nights Arabian Nights Films Archetype Archives Arguedas, José María (1911–1969) Arnim, Bettina von (1785–1859) Arnim, Gisela von (1827–1889) Art Asbjørnsen, Peter Christen (1812–1885) Asturias, Miguel Angel (1899–1974) Atwood, Margaret (1939– ) Aucassin et Nicolette Aulnoy, Marie-Catherine d’ (1650/51–1705) Auneuil, Louise de Bossigny, Comtesse d’ (d. c. 1700) Australian and Aotearoan/ New Zealand Tales Authenticity Avery, Frederick “Tex” (1908–1980) Awa Naoko (1943–1993) Aztec Tales B Baba Yaga Bachelier, Anne (1949– ) Balázs, Béla (1884–1949) Ballad Banchō sarayashiki Barbeau, Charles Marius (1883–1969) Bârlea, Ovidiu (1917–1990) Barrie, Sir James Matthew (1860–1937) Barthelme, Donald (1931–1989) Bartók, Béla (1881–1945) Bascom, William Russell (1912–1981) Basile, Giambattista (1575–1632) Bassewitz-Hohenluckow, Gerdt Bernhard von (1878–1923) Baum, L.
