Folk Literature

Folk literature consists of traditional stories, songs, poems, and customs passed orally from generation to generation within a community. It reflects the values, beliefs, and history of a culture, often through myths, legends, folktales, and proverbs. Because it’s shared orally, folk literature helps preserve cultural identity and wisdom, adaptable over time. It isn’t written by famous authors but emerges from everyday life, capturing the collective imagination and storytelling traditions of a community.
