Abstract

The issue of compiling a collection of fairy tales has not lost relevance since the publication of "Notes on Southern Russia" by P. Kulish. For a long time, the method of fixing and options for ways to present to readers a folk tale as a folk genre were formed. The article provides a structural analysis of some of these publications in order to clarify the mandatory and variable components of collections of folk tales, as well as the possibility of their further use. One of the important indicators of certification of fairy tales is the establishment of their codes, in accordance with the international indicators of motives (SUS and ATU). This issue is being resolved. The vast majority of modern storytellers try to study the so-called "white spots" of science, to promote the publication of academic or private archives. The article highlights the works of scholars of the early and late 20th century, as well as contemporaries in order to trace the genesis of the issue of perfection of folk prose. In particular, the publication of M. Levchenko's fairy tales "Fairy tales and stories from Podillya: in the records of 18501860" (1928), L. Dunaevskaya "From a living source. Ukrainian Folk Tales in Records, Traditions and Publications of Ukrainian Writers" (1990), I. Khlanta "Fairy Tales and Legends from Khust Castle" (2016), I. Gryshchenko "Interethnic Relations in Ukrainian Folk Tales" (2009), "Kalinova flute: an anthology of Ukrainian folk prose" (1998) O. Britsina, G. Dovzhenok, S. Myshanych. Emphasis is placed on the use of not only archival funds, but also modern folklore records, which testifies to the life of the fairy-tale tradition of our people. Aspects of the use of methods of historical and comparative schools in order to arrange collections of folk tales, their universal use are traced.
