About This Book

A comparative folkloristic study collects and analyzes a widespread folk-story motif across languages and literatures, assembling a bibliography and numerous variants. It reviews earlier scholarship, classifies tale types, and examines how the central motif fuses with related themes — including a ransomed or poisoned maiden, quests for restorative waters, thankful animals or companions, and allied adventure cycles. Detailed chapter-by-chapter analysis traces patterns of combination and diffusion, offers exemplars and commentary, and concludes with a synthetic account of structural relations and avenues for further research.

In order to avoid duplication, variants of The Grateful Dead are cited according to the names given them in Chapter II., references to which are printed in italics.
