This work primarily centers around the oral traditions of a village in Lorraine, presenting a detailed collection of local tales collected by the author and his family. It aims to highlight similarities between these tales and those from other cultures, particularly focusing on the propagation and origins of European folktales. The opening of the collection discusses the background of the tales, revealing that they are derived from oral traditions within Montiers-sur-Saulx, a village in Lorraine. Cosquin expresses his gratitude to those who helped collect these stories, particularly a young girl from the village known for her exceptional memory, and emphasizes his commitment to preserving the tales in their simplest, most authentic form. Additionally, he introduces the idea that many tales share similarities across various cultures, probing into the thematic and structural commonalities found in folktales from different regions of Europe and beyond, thus setting the stage for a deeper exploration of cultural exchanges through storytelling.
