Russian Tales and Legends (Oxford Myths and Legends)
(From a land of dark forests and wide rivers come heroic t...)
From a land of dark forests and wide rivers come heroic tales of the legendary Russian heroes and traditional tales of every kind from villages and towns all across Russia. Here are stories of princes and princesses, of merchants, boyars, cossacks, angels, robbers and minstrels, of mountains of gold, and of the Water of Life and Death. Some of the stories are familiar, like the tale of the Firebird, but many are new to Western culture.

These folk-tales were told by simple people--vine-dressers, farm-laborers, millers--and were preserved by word of mouth, to be repeated for entertainment in the coffee-house, or at home during the long, hard winters. There are fables here, too, selected from the collections of medieval scholars and philosophers, while the expressive and often humorous proverbs show the ways of the world through shrewd Armenian eyes.
