E-text prepared by Albert László, Adrian Treves, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Folk-Tales of the Magyars" by Jones, Erdélyi, Kriza, Pap, and Kropf is a collection of folklore written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an anthology of traditional Hungarian folk tales, translating the rich narrative heritage of the Magyar people for English-speaking audiences. The aim is to deepen the understanding of Magyar culture and stories, showcasing their connection to broader folklore traditions across Europe. The opening of this collection sets the stage for an exploration of Hungarian history as it relates to its folk tales. It delves into the origins of the Magyars, highlighting the struggle and incorporation of various tribes in ancient Hungary. The introduction provides insight into the significant cultural influences that shaped these tales, and mentions the role of the Székely people. Themes of giants, fairies, and witches are teased, with descriptions of their characteristics and their presence within Hungarian folklore. This foundation prepares readers for an intriguing journey into the fantastical world of Magyar storytelling.
