SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This thesis contains a collection of folktales that was the result of intensive fieldwork in 2008 in the region of Jizan in southern Saudi Arabia....This thesis focuses on the collection and translation of folktales, and not on the epistemological theorizing of these tales. I collected the tales in order to study them in an academic manner to be presented for scholarly purposes. Moreover, I present these tales as a representation of folklore in the Jizan region, and to serve as a motivation for my future research and inspiration for other scholars of folklore in the region.
