About this ebook
In Russia, as elsewhere in the world, folklore is rapidly scattering before the practical spirit of modern progress. The traveling peasant bard or story teller, and the devoted "nyanya", the beloved nurse of many a generation, are rapidly dying out, and with them the tales and legends, the last echoes of a nation's early joys and sufferings, hopes and fears, are passing away.

The Tsarevna Frog
Seven Simeons
The Language Of The Birds
Ivanoushka The Simpleton
Woe Bogotir
Baba Yaga
Dimian The Peasant
The Golden Mountain
Father Frost
It is also accompanied by 10 full page pen and ink illustrations plus many finely crafted vignettes which bring the stories to life.
