A collection of the best popular folk tales from Catalonia, selected by the renowned folklorist Joan Amades. This volume is part of the 'El tresor popular de Catalunya' series and includes illustrations by Francesc Almuní, preserving the rich oral tradition and cultural heritage of the region.
Joan Amades i Gelats was a Catalan ethnologist and folklorist. An autodidact, he worked at the historical archive of the city of Barcelona and at the Museum of Industry and Popular Arts of the same city. From 1956 onwards, he collaborated with UNESCO. He was also an important promoter of Esperanto and founded the Federació Esperantista Catalana. Perhaps the most important book in his large bibliography is Costumari Català, the main work for the study of Catalan popular culture.
