Abstract
The article outlines textological and editorial issues related to the publication of original and collective fairy tales and fairy tales based on the ethnographic and historical sources of the region. Important and basic books in this field were recalled, which appeared in the period 1956–1989. Against this background, ambitious and valuable editions of fairy tales, as well as legends, stories, comic stories from the last thirty years were discussed. The described tendencies consist in the continuation, multiplication and renewal of 20th-century editing traditions of these literary genres. Their editions have been published: local, Polish-German, artistically marked, comics. They are included in broader – not always convergent – social strategies, such as: building ties with indigenous people, creating regional identity, strengthening the cultural heritage of Warmia and Mazury as part of Europe. Fairy tale editions play a role in the reactivation of the Warmian and Masurian dialects as well as the Prussian language.
