Series Title: World Folklore Series
Description: In this delightful collection, you'll find more than 30 Russian tales--animal tales, fairy tales, tales of everyday life, and tales of spirits and the supernatural. You'll discover new renditions of familiar and beloved tales, as well as a number of obscure "spirit tales," which were officially ignored by the Soviets. There are tales for all ages and tastes--funny stories, scary stories, and stories to make you think. In addition you'll find a fascinating overview of the country and its history, activity ideas and recipes, color photographs, and a list of recommended reading. An outstanding resource for educators, storytellers, and general readers, this is an essential addition to the folklore shelf in school and public libraries. All levels.
