Traditional Storytelling Today: An International Sourcebook

Author: Margaret Read MacDonald

To prepare this book, I contacted over 200 folklore scholars around the globe, asking them to write about traditional storytelling traditions in their area of expertise. We ended with 100 articles. A feast for anyone interested in examining the nature of traditional telling in contemporary times.
