One of the most prominent themes in folklore is that of the strength and role of the elders, a theme that deserves revisiting today. This collection gathers traditional folktales from around the world to celebrate the wisdom, courage and even the follies of elders. Arranged by story type, these are tales that can be used in the classroom and library as a springboard for cultural comparisons and discussion of how wisdom is shared between generations and how elders contribute to and are perceived by various societies.Photos of elder storytellers and scenes relating to the tales enhance the collection.
