Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A selection of some of the very best traditional Russian Folk Tales, translated from the original peasant chapbooks dating from 1830s Moscow by famed medievalist Robert Steele. The broad range of the fairy tales-some similar to, but others vastly different from, their Western European equivalents-is superbly captured in this collection, which includes such tempting titles as "The Mild Man and His Cantankerous Wife," and the "Story of the Most Wonderful and Noble Self-Playing Harp." As Steele notes in his introduction, some of the tales are obviously of German origin-adopted and made Russian, like that of the "Seven Simeons" or "Emelyan, the Fool," while others are as evidently Eastern. A few date from the Russian Epics, like that of "Iliya of Murom" and "Ivan the Peasant's Son;" others are of later date, like that of "The Judgment of Shemyaka," who was a historic character who lived about 1446. This delightful collection also offers a fascinating-and refreshing-look into classical Russian culture and folklore, as the editor pointed out: It is hardly necessary to dilate on the peculiar expressions here to be found; how that a child grows "not day by day, but hour by hour," how that when the Tsar wants to drink, "beer is not brewed nor brandy distilled," seeing he is served at once, how the hero passes through "thrice nine lands to the thirtieth country," how brothers are always in threes, and how the youngest always succeeds where his elders fail. Students of folklore will know all about them, and the rest of us must take them on trust. Do you know why you must never go under a ladder? Contents Foreword Story of Lyubim Tsarevich and the Winged Wolf Story of the Most Wonderful and Noble Self-Playing Harp The Seven Brothers Simeon Story of Ivan, the Peasant's Son Story of the Golden Mountain Iliya of Murom and the Robber Nightingale The Renowned Hero, Bova Korolevich, and the Princess Drushnevna The Mild Man and His Cantankerous Wife Story of the Duck with Golden Eggs Story of Bulat the Brave Companion Story of Prince Malandrach and the Princess Salikalla Story of a Shoemaker and His Servant Prituitshkin Emelyan, the Fool The Judgment of Shemyaka Story of Prince Peter with the Golden Keys, and the Princess Magilene Sila Tsarevich and Ivashka with the White Smock Story of the Knight Yaroslav Lasarevich and the Princess Anastasia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Garland, Being Russian Folk Tales The special interest of this volume of Russian Folk Tales is that it is a translation from a collection of peasant Chap-books of all sorts made in Moscow about 1830, long before the Censorship had in great measure stopped the growth of popular literature. It is not necessary to dilate upon the peculiarities of Chap-books and their methods: in the conditions of their existence many of the finest qualities of the primitive stories are eliminated, but on the other hand certain essentials are enforced. The story must be direct, the interest sustained, and the language however fine, simple and easily understood. It is to be hoped that some of these merits have been preserved in this translation: for this book is intended to appeal to a class of severe and incorruptible critics - the children of to-day. To older critics the matter is also interesting. Who on earth would ever expect to find in a Russian Chap-book printed in Slavonic type on a coarse broadside sheet the Provençal legend of "Pierre et Maguelonne" or the Old English tale of "Bevis of Hampton."
