Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the static and dynamic motif of home in several selected contemporary Bulgarian fairy-tales with animal heroes. In the hierarchy of motifs, a “sub-motif” becomes homesickness and a happy return from a foreign place, or a dissatisfaction with the current home, a long-distance journey, whose ultimate aim is to evaluate home or to save friends, hesitation between the natural space connected with freedom and the city, in which a materialistic approach to life is preferred (e.g. easy access to food, human care). I will not focus only on the role of intermotifs and intertextual motifs, on the static and dynamic motifs of home, that determine the course of fairy-tale, but also on the function of a character, which influences the concept of home.
