Our folk tales rarely get as much space in the modern book market as Szkítia Kiadó's latest monumental undertaking demands.

The collection is a testament to the enduring legacy of figures like János Berze Nagy, a renowned Hungarian ethnographer, inspector, and folklorist. His work, along with that of other collectors, forms the backbone of this ambitious endeavor to preserve Hungary's rich oral traditions.

By bringing together these diverse stories, the 'Nagy magyar népmesegyűjtemény' seeks to bridge the past and the future, ensuring that these cultural treasures are not lost to time. It stands as a significant contribution to the study and appreciation of Hungarian folklore.

The recently published, over thousand-page Great Hungarian Folk Tale Collection is not just another festive special edition, but an ambitious cultural and scientific project that condenses the most important tale collections of the 19th and 20th centuries into a single hardcover volume.
