Abstract
The article is an attempt to systematize the presently available versions of the folk-tale type ATU411 “King and Lamia” (according to the H.-J. Uther’s Folk-Tale Type Index). The author examines the versions and the plot genesis, its areal distribution, analyzes the character of the snake-turnskin juha, and tracks its genesis. The author’s analysis suggests more exact and detailed information to the paragraph, devoted to the ATU411 type, which could be useful throughout the new edition of folk-tale types’ index publication.
