Ghaddar the Ghoul and Other Palestinian Stories
Frances Lincoln (96 pages) 9781845075231
This is just one example of a number of similar, slim, illustrated paperbacks of folk tales of specific countries or regions. A 2008 addition is The Dragon of Krakow and Other Polish Stories by Richard Monte. There are nine tales in this book, some are familiar from One Thousand and One Nights collections, some are closely related to folk tales from elsewhere, but that is the gregarious nature of the form. A collection such as this helps to get closer to the cultures of a different race but also demonstrates inherent common features too. An introduction by Ghada Khami draws attention to the enormous strength of oral tradition among Arabic peoples.
