Reviews
"Rambunctious, full-blooded, and temperamental, these stories are tense with action, magical, and human. They are gorgeous." --Eudora Welty   "The oral folk tradition in Russia was truly a magic spring [that] flowed inexhaustibly, reviving, consoling, and enlightening all who partook of it . . . These stories have an ingenuity that marks them as uniquely Russian." -- Time    "A beautiful book. I recommend it to all readers, young and old, who are interested in the folktale and its unique qualities." --Isaac Bashevis Singer, The New York Times Book Review "Luckily someone garnered these jewels before they were lost [and] bound them into one volume before they disappeared . . . It is filled with action, magic, and humanity." -- St. Louis Globe-Democrat, "A beautiful book. I recommend it to all readers, young and old, who are interested in the folktale and its unique qualities." -- Isaac Bashevis Singer, The New York Times Book Review "Luckily someone garnered these jewels before they were lost, bound them into one volume before they disappeared...it is filled with action, magic, and humanity...." -- St. Louis Globe-Democrat "The oral folk tradition in Russia was truly a magic spring. As in the fairy tale, it flowed inexhaustibly, reviving, consoling, and enlightening all who partook of it... these stories have an ingenuity that marks them as uniquely Russian."

    Great condition. Good story collection.

    Book is in excellent condition. Just what I wanted. It did come with the older cover - not the modern pattern but the picture. I actually preferred this one so I was very happy. Thank you!

    Russian Fairy Tales collected by Afanasyev

    This is the now-classic collection of Russian fairy tales. Afanasyev was one of the pioneers in collecting Russian folk tales and fairy tales. The illustrations are excellent, reminiscent of wood-cuts and Russian folk art.

    Russian Fairy Tales

    Only bought book because it was required of me to fulfill a Russian Fairy Tales course that I am taking. Although most of the fairy tales were somewhat weird they helped me to understand Russian culture more.
