Fairytale in the Ancient World by Graham Anderson

I'm not going to try to give this a star-rating. It's challenging to read if you're not familiar with many of the primary sources referenced, but very good for dismantling pre-conceived notions of what qualifies a narrative as a folk/fairy tale, and what qualifies it as a precursor to any given modern tale type.
