Mongolian Magical And Riddle Tales
Into the category of the magical tales belong all the tales in which the protagonists have some kind of magical power. In the course of the folktale they use their power either to help somebody or to accomplish a task seemingly impossible to accomplish. They are somewhat "related" to the epics.
And the riddle tales are "related" to the magical tales as far as the protagonists featured in them often do have magical powers, too, or the reader is confronted with fantastic situations and events. But, most importantly, these tales present the reader with a tale. So these tales are something like the whodunnits amoung the folktales. :-)
