Expert InsightsPublished 1968

A translation of that portion of the Andreev Russian Tale-Type Index that was not included in the 1961 Aarne-Thompson international index. Andreev's work differs from other national indexes in that it is not a catalogue prepared to provide a complete bibliography of published Russian tales; it is rather a rough translation of Aarne's original index, with plot summaries added. The stories and tales are classified by group: (1) animal tales, (2) ordinary folktales, and (3) religious tales. Andreev's "Preface" and "Appendix" (in which he proposes a classification scheme for legends) are included. 56 pp. Ref.
