That folklorists have documented some 400 versions of 'Snow White' and 500 variations of 'Cinderella' over time and across cultures attests to the enduring and far-reaching qualities of this distinctive literary genre."

About the book >.>.> In order to understand fairy tales, we must begin by exploring their origins in oral tradition. We need to realize to what extent these tales were initially created by storytellers and audiences through the ongoing and evolving process of oral transmission, a process that encourages both variation (as a product of the inspi- ration of storytellers and the contributions of audience members) and continuity (as a product of the inherited, traditional forms or structures of the stories). In particular, we need to identify the specific formal characteristics of fairy tales that differentiate them from other oral narratives, such as myths, legends, and folktales. In addition to familiarizing ourselves with the oral heritage of fairy tales, we need to survey the literary history of this genre. (LL).

"An examination of the mystery of folktales, this study takes a look into the heart of one folktale in order to use it as a model for all folktales. It analyses over seventy folk versions of "Snow White" in order to reveal their shared narrative core of episodes and themes. The investigation documents the way that different versions adhere to a basic structure of nine episodes and the way that they maintain the same thematic focus on the issues of adolescent maturation. Ultimately, these mechanisms of structural and symbolic equivalence underlying the versions of "Snow White" may well explain the way that this and other folktales can and do survive in oral tradition.".
