"Morphology of the Folktale" is the first part of the major work by the prominent Russian philologist and folklorist Vladimir Yakovlevich Propp, devoted to the analysis of the structure of the wonder tale (fairy tale). In this monograph, Propp examines the origins of the tale, a special type of textual construction, and explores why our favorite fairy tales are structured the way they are. "Morphology of the Folktale" deserves the attention not only of philologists and cultural scholars, but of everyone interested in the structure of fairy tales and myths, as well as in the writing of fictional texts of any kind.
