Folktales are relatively short stories found in almost all oral traditions of the world. They include fables, beast fables, legends, fairy tales, ghost stories, husband-and-wife tales, master-and-servant tales, and also stories of giants, goblins, devils and spirits. The tales presented in this collection come from different times and places, but they represent only a minute fraction of the age-old tradition of oral storytelling now on the decline.
