| Summary | "Serbian Folk-lore" by Elodie Lawton Mijatovich and W. Denton is a collection of translations of Serbian folk tales, likely written in the late 19th century. The book aims to preserve and present traditional stories that have been passed down through generations in Serbia, providing insight into the culture and mindset of the people. The collection includes various tales characterized by mythical creatures, moral lessons, and elements of adventure. The opening of the collection features an introduction that emphasizes the importance of folk-lore as a valuable cultural artifact, necessary for understanding the history and traditions of a nation. It discusses the recognition of folk tales as more than just entertaining narratives but as significant contributors to the understanding of a society's past. Following the introduction, the first story, "The Bear's Son," introduces a young boy raised by a bear who desires to explore the world and become strong enough to face the dangers he encounters. This tale illustrates themes of strength, identity, and the quest for independence, laying the foundation for the types of narratives the book will explore, reflecting the rich tapestry of Serbian folklore.
