*The
information contained in this link is based upon my own experiences with and readings about the
folktale genre. In addition, these pages reflect what I, as a writer and educator,have
learned from the stories themselves.
There are many
interpretations as to what folktales are, as a literary form. There are also overlapping and
contradictory opinions about individual folktales which have to be weighed when
judgments of origin or authenticity are made.
