Hungarian Folktales

First published in 1996. There has been no more important relationship between folk artist and folklorist than that between Zsuzsanna Palk and Linda Dgh. Dghs painstaking collection of Mrs. Palks tales attracted the admiration of the Hungarian-speaking world. In 1954 Mrs. Palk was named Master of Folklore by the Hungarian government and summoned to Budapest to receive ceremonial recognition. The unlettered 74-year-old woman from Kakasd had become Aunt Zsuzsi to Linda Dghand was about to become one of the worlds best known storytellers, through Dghs work.
