The following tales are similar to the Tsarevitch Ivan Fire Bird and the Gray Wolf fairy tale, Aarne-Thompson 550: The Quest for the Golden Bird/Firebird. I have included the English language tales of this type which have been gathered by title by D. L. Ashliman in his A Guide to Folktales in the English Language. Sometimes I include tales of other classifications when I deem them relevant to the theme. The tales come from many cultures and are similar to the Firebird story in various ways. I have placed the tales in alphabetical order with bibliographic information and links to texts of the stories if a text is available on the internet. I am also including Russian tales of other classifications that contain the Firebird. Tales of AT-550 The Bird Grip (Sweden) * * Full text of tale is available online. The Firebird appears in a few Russian folktales not of AT-550, the most familiar being The Firebird and Princess Vasilisa, AT-531. I am including a list of AT-531 tales for anyone interested in this particular Firebird tale and its siblings from around the world. Once again, this list was primarily derived from D. L. Ashliman's A Guide to Folktales in the English Language. The Black King; or, Fair Ferentine * Full text of tale is available online.
