On his journey to Russia in the early 20th century, British author Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) gathered folklore from peasant storytellers and then retold them in English upon his return.
This collection includes nine charming tales - some resembling stories from Eastern Europe, others introducing exotic creatures and situations unique to the Russian imagination. Filled with magical beasts, daring young men, frightful giants, wicked witches, and captivating creatures of the sea, the tales introduce young readers to the legendary Firebird; the ducimer-playing Sadko, whose music could make the Tzar of the Sea dance; the iron-toothed witch Baba-Yaga; and other beguiling characters.
