The Types of International Folktales: A Classification and Bibliography (2004) is a tale morphology book by Hans-Jörg Uther. It updates and expands the Aarne–Thompson classification system. Uther noted that many of the earlier descriptions were cursory, and that the existing system did not allow for expansion. To remedy these shortcomings Uther developed the Aarne-Thompson-Uther classification (ATU number) system, and includes international folktales in the expanded listing.
