Summary:"The fairy tale occurs both in oral and in literary form. The focus in the book has been on preserving the elemental structure of oral tradition without embellishment. But this is a distinctive literary collection that gathers a dozen fairy tales which come from the Croatian national folklore tradition, and in this bilingual edition the Croatian and English-in-translation are presented together - accompanied by a dozen original colour artworks by the cover artist, Josip Botteri Dini.And, as these are oral-come-literary tales, they freely derive plots, motifs, and elements so that the fairy tale itself is its own best explanation; that is, its meaning is contained in the totality of its motifs connected by the thread of the story.And these are 12 great stories!The book also includes a detailed introduction to Croatian fairy tales, and, in a historical and cultural sense, to the wider genre of fairy tales."--
