"Peter Tokofsky has provided English readers with a superb translation of one of the most important books on folktales." —Wolfgang MiederThis classic work, first published in 1956, is now available in English. Along with Lüthi's The European Folktale and Propp's The Morphology of the Folktale, Röhrich's Märchen und Wirklichkeit is considered a key text in folklore scholarship.
