Books (at our library):

This is the pioneering work on the Folklore of Shakespeare written over a century ago by T.F. Thiselton Dyer

My favorite find. A children's picture book about folk tales that Shakespeare drew on. An excellent way to introduce yourself to the topic.

A book about folklore in Elizabethen times, recommended for study by author Kenneth Muir who wrote one of the articles I found.
