The latest folk tales books

Folk tales are the stories ordinary people told each other. Tricksters outwit the powerful, fools turn out wise, and animals talk their way out of trouble. Every culture has its own, passed down by word of mouth before anyone wrote them down. Collections come from all around the world. The newest come first.
