    The meaning of the term ‘folklore’ is “the traditional beliefs,
    legends, customs, etc of a people”.

    field of folklores. His work is Folktales from India, Oral Tales
    from Twenty Indian Languages, 1991.

    Malinowski and Radclife-Brown treated folklore as a very


    essential and integral element in a living culture.

    Folklores are essentially an oral literature comprising stories,


    songs, proverbs, riddles etc. Folk stories are usually fairy or
    ghost stories or animal stories.
