Favorite Folktales from Around the World

Folktales are old. Folktales arise from an oral tradition. Folktales are good because they are old and because they arise from an oral tradition. No one retells a story that is not good. Stories get better as they are told more and more.

This is a wonderful collection of folktales from around the world. The stories are about love and old age and trickery and work and families—all the important things—and they are testaments to both the unfailing wickedness and the unfailing redemption available in the world.
