"Peter Tokofsky has provided English readers with a superb translation of one of the most important books on folktales." --Wolfgang Mieder

This classic work, first published in 1956, is now available in English. Along with L thi's The European Folktale and Propp's The Morphology of the Folktale, R hrich's M rchen und Wirklichkeit is considered a key text in folklore scholarship.
