Synopsis

An original translation of five less-known Russian folk tales, this collection offers commentaries and explanations about the features and characters of the Russian folktale tradition. Based on a successful college course and a popular website, the booklet offers more than is available on the web. Written by a scholar and folklorist who grew up listening to the tales, it gives an insider's look at a rich cultural tradition.
