Summary/Abstract: What were the sources of Donkeyskin by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm’s Allerleirauh? What kind of fur jackets were worn by the heroines of Polish variants of the ATU 51 OB folktale type? What are the differences between the French, German and Polish versions of the theme in question? The monograph Donkeyskin, All-Fur and Mouse-Fur - the Folktale Sisters. A Study of the Folktale Type ATU 51OB seeks to answer these and many other questions. The three authors propose a story about a unique fairy tale, which touches on issues such as cultural taboos, violent behaviour and social inequalities. This is a story about a girl who runs away from her father and conceals her identity by wearing unusual clothes: a story with many endings and meanings.The book is the first Polish-language monograph devoted to the folktale type no. 510B, according to the Aarne-Thompson-Uther lndex. The three authors concentrate on the chosen folktale type ATU 51OB, presenting different philological perspectives for their research on a variety of texts of folk provenance and literary works, on accompanying paratexts, as well as on complex reception factors. Their study’s main protagonists are: Donkeyskin (Peau d'Ane), All-Fur (Allerieirauh) and Mouse-Fur (Mysi Kożuszek) - the three folktale sisters whose fate is described and interpreted by the authors, referring to French, German and Polish literary and cultural contexts."
