JMZ Interesting list. I've got to make sure to find some of these books to read later.


message 2: by Kat (new)

Kat I was floored at how few of these books I own, or have even heard of. Great list!


message 3: by Mary (new)

Mary more japanese and chinese when you can find some please????


message 4: by Debaparna (last edited Jan 03, 2014 10:29AM) (new)

Debaparna Some East European folktales collections please? Not just Russian.


message 5: by William (new)

William Several of the titles on this list aren't actually part of the Pantheon series.


message 6: by Melanti (new)

Melanti Removed a few books:
The New Homeowner's Guide to House pirits
Apollo Rising
The Fisherman & His Soul, the Star-Child, and Other Stories
Cuentos populares polacos
The Guardians of Karma
The Dream and the Underworld
Anung's Journey
The Irish Fairy Book
Chinese fairy tales: Forty stories told by almond-eyed folk
Japanese Fairy Tales
Myths of the Norsemen: From the Eddas and Sagas

Some of this is self published spam, and others are true folklore, but not published by Pantheon.
It now seems to be more or less correct.

Please be wary when deleting further books. I combined duplicates, which switched a couple of books to the default editions which aren't published by Pantheon, so please check all editions before deleting a book from the list.

This is a series of books from just one publishing house. They never did any more collections from Eastern Europe other than the Russian and Yiddish ones.
