The Grateful Dead Tales from Around the World by Heidi Anne Heiner
Fairy tales about the grateful dead figure, and some plays and a literary work on it. Includes a study of the trope.
Some repetition from the Twelve Dancing Princesses. Also, I thought the plays rather weak, since they only have a small portion of the traditional tales. But a larger number of variations, since the grateful dead can feature as a helper in just about any story.
