Bibliographic Sources

The works are listed in general order of their usefulness to me. The first book in the list, A World of Stories for Children, has been especially valuable, not only because it is the most comprehensive anthology of folk tales that I have encountered, but also because of the extensive discussion of bibliographic references included on pp. 821-823.
