A note on tale types:
Tales in the oral tradition exist in many versions across cultures and centuries. These have the same basic plot but very diverse embellishments.
Folklorists have numbered the plots in what is generally known as the ATU (Aarne-Thompson-Uther) tale type index.
E.g. every tale with a jealous queen, an exiled princess hiding in the company of outlaws, fake death, and resurrection is ATU 709 - Snow White.
Some cultures have their own indices, however!
@TarkabarkaHolgy So where can we read up on the different stories of the snowwhite plot?
