Publisher Comments

"... a cross-cultural consideration of kinship and family relations as captured in traditional folktales and other lore genres.... This valuable contribution in the areas of anthropology and folk literature will be a treasured acquisition... " --Library Journal

"... rare, intriguing, and highly readable... presents tales from the Arab world in a fluent and attractive way." --Ulrich Marzolph

The gender factor and its impact on the form, structure, and contents of each item are explored in conjunction with the concepts of multiple role-playing, role transition, and role-strain.
