Welcome!

This site is the index for many folk tales that have been published on various sites on the web. The main two were typed by my son, Noah, and collected, mostly by me, over a long period of teaching ESL. There are now so many that they can be sorted by story, as well as by country. There is a shortage of American ones, but anyone who would like to contribute is certainly welcome!
