5.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource that should be in most reference collections,
By
This review is from: A Guide to Folktales in the English Language: Based on the Aarne-Thompson Classification System (Bibliographies and Indexes in World Literature) (Hardcover)
In his book, Ashliman has collected lists of the variants of tales available in respected English language collections of fairy tales. This is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to find variations from different cultures of tales such as Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast. Since all of the collections are in English, the book is greatly abbreviated and easier to use than the Stith-Thompson set, although it conveniently uses the same classification system. I often have people asking for the types of lists Ashliman has thoughtfully combined in this one volume. I am always disappointed when it is not available in the reference section of a library I am using or visiting.
