In this book, first published in 1987, Wolfgang Mieder follows the
intriguing trail of some of the best known pieces of folk
literature, tracing them from their roots to modern uses in
advertising, journalism, politics, cartoons, and poetry. He reveals
both the remarkable adaptability of these tales and how each
variation reflects cultural and historical changes. Fairy tales,
legends, folk songs, riddles, nursery rhymes, and proverbs are
passed from generation to generation, changing both in form and
meaning with each use. This book will be of interest to students of
literature.
