For technical reasons, the collection "Georgian Folk Tales," in contrast to the previously released volumes of the series "Tales and Myths of the Peoples of the East," is published in two books. The first book contains an introductory article, a section "Tales of Animals" and a part of the section "Magic Tales," notes and typological analysis of plots related to these tales, as well as an explanatory dictionary, a list of abbreviated literature designations and a list of sources of published texts.
