Handed down through centuries, these stories were woven into the tapestry of everyday life. For close to three centuries, folklore has inspired adaptations to film, operas, ballets, short stories, novels, and poetry. Its no surprise, then, that many folklore scholars consider folklore as original literature--existing before written literature. Most folklorists seem to share the belief that folklore, whether drawn from oral observation or from the written record, is a rich cultural resource that is readily available to creative writers and other artists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia of Folklore and Literature\u003c\/i\u003e introduces readers to a selection of authors, characters, themes, works, and movements associated with folklore and literature from around the world.
