Hungarian collectors such as János Kriza, János Erdélyi and Gyula Pap took these stories down from village tellers. Here, in an 1889 Folk-Lore Society translation, are Prince Csihan, the Lamb with the Golden Fleece, Fisher Joe, the travels of Truth and Falsehood, and the lazy spinning-girl who became a queen, with notes comparing them to tales elsewhere.

A rich, little-known body of European folk-tale for collectors of Grimm, Lang and Afanasyev. Download the free EPUB.
