Antti Aarne was a Finnish scholar who put together the first major index for many European tales.
Stith Thompson, an American folklorist, expanded on the index past just European tales, previously created by Antti Aarne. Thompson also translated the tales from Aarne's index.
Similarly to Thompson, German researcher and folklorist, Hans-Jorg Uther also expanded the number of tales from what was originally created by Antti Aarne.
The A-T-U system is a numeric index which categorizes fairy tales into different sections based on the general theme of the story. This allows for stories of many different cultures to be grouped together.
