Népmesék Heves- és Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok-megyéből; Magyar népköltési gyüjtemény 9. kötet

The volume gathers eighty-eight folk tales recorded in a single region of northern Hungary, most notably sixty-five from the village of Besenyőtelek, with additional variants from nearby settlements. The collector aimed for faithful transcription of local dialect and performance, resulting in vivid narrative voice that preserves regional speech while balancing literal fidelity and editorial shaping. The stories combine widespread folktale motifs with some previously unrecorded episodes, varying in imaginative richness and moral resolution. Editorial notes supply comparative remarks to Hungarian and foreign parallels and concise commentary on provenance, arrangement, and the collector's method.
