collection of folk tales

A collection of folk tales is a curated compilation of traditional stories rooted in a community’s cultural history. These stories are passed orally from generation to generation, often featuring themes like morals, values, and local customs. They serve to entertain, teach lessons, and preserve cultural identity. Collecting them involves gathering and recording these stories to maintain their richness and facilitate their transmission, ensuring that the unique perspectives and beliefs of a community are preserved for future audiences. Such collections offer valuable insight into the history, beliefs, and collective imagination of a culture.
