  Since 1958, the journal has been published bi-annually by De Gruyter and is available in both print and online-editions. It was established by the German scholar Kurt Ranke and is currently edited by Brigitte Bönisch-Brednich, Simone Stiefbold, and Harm-Peer Zimmermann. It is closely connected to the multi-volume work Enzyklopädie des Märchens (Encyclopedia of Fairy Tales) and is an official journal of the International Society for Folk Narrative Research.
