5.0 out of 5 stars As invaluable to mythology as the OED is to English studies., December 31, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Motif-Index of Folk-Literature: A Classification of Narrative Elements in Folktales, Ballads, Myths, Fables, Mediaeval Romances, Exempla, Faeliaux (Volume 6) (Hardcover)
This set of books classify all known myths and folk tales,
in terms of both story and motif. Invariably, any book
analyzing myths will simply use Thompson's notation (Aa ###)
whenever placing the myths discussed in a multi-cultural or
syncretic context. For an understanding of Thompson's work
rather than referencing the literally encyclopedic result,
see _Types_of_the_Folktale_.
