Ignác Kúnos (22 Ekim 1860 – 12 Ocak 1945), Türk dili, halk edebiyatı ve halkbilimi üzerine yapıtlarıyla tanınmış Macar Türkolog. Kúnos, Türk halk edebiyatının Batı ülkelerine tanıtılmasında öncü olmuştur. İlk ve orta öğrenimini Debrecen'de yaptı. Üniversiteyi Budapeşte'de bitirdi. Öğrencilik yıllarında Macar halk diline ve kültürüne ilgi gösterdi; Hungaristik alanında çalışmalar yaptı. Daha sonra Türkçe öğrendi ve Ármin Vámbéry, Josef Budenz ve Bernát Munkácsi gibi ünlü türkologların derslerini izledi. 1885'te bir süre Bulgaristan'daki Türkler arasında yaşadıktan (1885) sonra Anadolu'da beş yıl süren bir araştırma gezisine çıktı. Bu sırada Macar Bilimler Akademisi'ne gönderdiği veriler, bilim çevrelerinde ilgiyle karşılandı. 1890'da Macaristan'a döndü. Gezi boyunca derlediği türküleri, halk masalları ve öykülerini, ayrıca Karagöz, ortaoyunu, Nasreddin Hoca ve bazı geleneklere ilişkin notlarını yayımlayarak kısa sürede Türk halkbilimi alanındaki en ünlü adlardan biri oldu.

Macar Bilimler Akademisi, Uluslararası Orta ve Doğu Asya Derneği, Paris'teki Asya Derneği gibi kuruluşların da üyesiydi.

Addig egyedülálló terjedelmű és úttörő jellegű török népköltészeti gyűjtéseinek – és legfőképp a török népmesekincs feltárásának – köszönhetően korának európai szinten legelismertebb turkológusai közé tartozott, elévülhetetlen érdeme a török népköltészeti alkotások be bevonása az európai szövegfolklorisztikai kutatásokba. Számottevő eredményeket ért el a török nyelvészet és dialektológia területén, fél évszázadon keresztül volt a budapesti tudományegyetemen a török filológia tanára.

This is a nice collection of stories, and there are insights into Turkish culture, but I feel that these aren't representative of the Turkish culture that I know.
These tales feature padishahs and genies, groups of princess sisters, rooms full of diamonds, and other legends that seem to me more Persian and Arabic than Turkic (legends of the steppe: the sky, the wolves, horses, etc.). Perhaps this was more common in Ottoman times, when the language and the culture were more closely tied to
The plots often run together: keep an eye on the younger brother, things tend to happen in threes, and there are clever twists. I think my favorite story was "The Boy Who Knew No Fear."
