About This Book
A collection of traditional Romani tales assembled with ethnographic and philological commentary, featuring wonder-tales, origin myths, animal fables, trickster episodes, and stories of magic, curses, and divination. The editor provides a substantial introduction on sources and language, comparative folklore parallels, and notes on variant readings, and annotates individual narratives with cultural and textual observations. The work records regional versions and storytelling forms while linking the material to broader folk traditions and discussing linguistic and ethnological details.
