This section deals with some detailed characteristics of the European folktale books.

 

(18) Georgian Folktales (35/38)
Translated by Marjorie Wardrop.  London, David Nutt in the Strand.  1894.  200 p.  38 Stories.

The translator has taken these folktales from various sources. It has been divided in three parts -
Its part I has been taken from a publication by Georgian Folklore Society in 1891.
Its part II in 1880 - collection collected during 1876-79.
Its part III is from a book published in 1884.
Thus these tales are from Wardrop's book published in 1894, but indeed they were collected during 1876-1884.

 

(2) Serbian Folk-lore: popular tales (26)
Translated by Madam Csedomille Mijatovies.  London: W Isbister.  1874. 
26 stories.

These tales have been selected from the two following books -
(1) “Srpsk narodne pripovoijetke”, by Vuk Stefanovics Karadjivich.
  Vienna.  1853. A greater part of the tales has been taken from this book. This collection was translated and published in German in Berlin in 1854. 
(2) “Bosniacke narodne pripovijetke”.  Society of Young Bosnia.  Sissek (Croatia).  1870.

 Out of these 26 tales 20 tales are available in the book "Hero Tales and Legends of the Serbians”.  By Woislav M Petrovich.  London : George and Harry.  1914 (1916, 1921).  20 tales.
