Encyclopedic in its coverage, this one-of-a-kind reference is ideal for students, scholars, and others who need reliable, up-to-date information on folk and fairy tales, past and present. Folktales and fairy tales have long played an important role in cultures around the world. They pass customs and lore from generation to generation, provide insights into the peoples who created them, and offer inspiration to creative artists working in media that now include television, film, manga, photography, and computer games. This second, expanded edition of an award-winning reference will help students and teachers as well as storytellers, writers, and creative artists delve into this enchanting world and keep pace with its past and its many new facets. Alphabetically organized and global in scope, the work is the only multivolume reference in English to offer encyclopedic coverage of this subject matter. The four-volume collection covers national, cultural, regional, and linguistic traditions from around the world as well as motifs, themes, characters, and tale types. Writers and illustrators are included as are filmmakers and composers—and, of course, the tales themselves. The expert entries within volumes 1 through 3 are based on the latest research and developments while the contents of volume 4 comprises tales and texts. While most books either present readers with tales from certain countries or cultures or with thematic entries, this encyclopedia stands alone in that it does both, making it a truly unique, one-stop resource.

In this book, Ramesh Ramdoyal, the author of the locally best-selling trilogy - Tales From Mauritius, More Tales From Mauritius and Further Tales From Mauritius - once again delights us with nine original stories, each more captivating than the other.This time the author does not restrict himself to the island of Mauritius. He goes further afield. In Castaway, the action takes place in the remote island-archipelago of Saint Brandon with its unique flora and fauna. This is the place where a fugitive is hiding not only from justice, but also from the demons that have followed him in his solitary confinement.In Fishy Stories, he makes us discover the underwater wonderland around the island, and shares with us a dramatic spear-fishing experience, and a quaint story about a fisherman, his wife and an octopus!'Monarch of the Forest' is a beautiful story of a hunter who loves hunting and hates killing. Just as the author's 'fishy' stories usher you into the exciting world of a Mauritian fisherman, 'Monarch of the Forest' ushers you into the heart of the Mauritian forest land and makes you share the thrills and heartaches of a passionate hunter. In Letter to My Beloved, we follow a youth to Oxford in a world that is both fascinating and alienating where he discovers with a shock that love can have many different forms. The Struggle Is Never Over is the authentic story of one of the greatest freedom fighters of Mauritius against which the evolution of the island can be understood. The Minister And The Artist is the hilarious story of a well-meaning politician who has to reckon with the inefficiency of his own staff to salvage his political career.Jonah is the real story of a sensitive teenager who comes into his own after he is sent down from a 5-star college. In Dancing in the Rain, we share the tribulations of an ageing couple in a fast paced environment, outside their comfort zone; whilst A New Beginning follows a group of survivors to a mysterious planet that holds out the promise of a better world.The stories are interesting in their own right, but when taken together, they reveal the soul of an island which is unique and fascinating. Ramesh Ramdoyal confirms once again his standing as one of the best story-tellers of Mauritius.
