This book, which contributes to the preservation of a fast disappearing oral tradition, includes 116 faithfully transcribed Indo-European folk tales recorded by 28 informants from Northern Portugal and the Azores but now living in Canada. The introduction, in Portuguese and English, presents an overview of Portuguese immigration to that country. Each folk tale is preceded by an English summary, and classified according to Hans-Joerg Uther's international catalog. Besides listing versions from the Portuguese-speaking world (Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Cape Verde, Goa, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Timor), Paulo Correia's classification includes a section dedicated to the Iberian cultural area (Spain, Spanish America, and the Sephardim). This book, which is also of great linguistic value, ends with four appendices: vocabulary, informants, motifs and tale-types
