What is Folk Literature?
Folk Literature includes folk narratives (fables, folktales, legends, fairy tales, and storytelling); folk poetry (oral poetry, ballads, epics). Works on folklore and literature are also on this page. Works on myth are found in a separate section. Tale type and motif-indexes also have a tab to themselves.
