Folktales of America

‘Folktales of America’ brings together some of the best classic stories told in the United States. Many of the tales were brought to the USA from Europe, and their origins can be traced from that European tradition. But wherever they spring from, the tales are told in a rich American voice. These vivid stories, full of magic, humour and wisdom have been minimally retold by the editor, whose introduction and notes set them securely in their folklore context.
