Germany is a land of fascinating customs and traditions. Through
the work of the Grimms, many of its folk and fairy tales have
become widely read around the world. German folklore has also
inspired numerous literary, artistic, and musical works. Written
especially for high school students and general readers, this
volume is an accessible introduction to German folklore. The volume
begins by defining and classifying different types of German
folklore. It provides numerous examples of German folkways and
presents a wide ranging selection of texts. The book reviews
critical and scholarly approaches and discusses the pervasive
influence of German folklore on literature and popular culture. The
work closes with a bibliography of print and electronic resources
suitable for student research, a glossary, and a detailed index.
Numerous illustrations bring folklore to life for general readers.
