Best source for folk stories by subject.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Storytellers Sourcebook: A Subject, Title, and Motif Index to Folklore Collections for Children (Hardcover)
This reference is hard to get into, but well worth it. Even though it is 15+ years old, it has much value still for libraries and media centers with large collections of 398's. The subject index allows you to find many stories about almost any subject you or your students can think of. It also helps to find that partially forgotten story you heard once upon a time. An ethnic and geographic index also helps teachers and librarians fit stories into themes. All stories, compiled from more than 2000 folktale collections, are arranged in Stith Thompson order, so stories on similar themes are easy to find. Its only drawback is its date - but many libraries still have these collections on their shelves, and many of the collections are being reprinted. Rev. by George Pilling, Library Media Teacher, Tulare County, C
