Spanish Tales

Folk Russian Tales. Afanasyev A.N. Before you are the best Russian animal tales and magical stories from the famous collection of A.N. Afanasyev, recorded in their original, pristine form, from the mouths of folk storytellers. In many ways, these tales are different from those we are accustomed to since childhood. In them, you will find not only unique features of the language, the spirit and life of old Russia, but also new characters, and even unfamiliar resolutions of well-known plots.
The tales of Afanasyev have been reprinted many times, but only in our book are unique illustrations from several classic editions compiled together for the first time, including works by such great artists as I. Bilibin, V. Vasnetsov, B. Zvorikin, as well as rare works by E. Lissner, S. Solomko, A. Neruchev, and other old masters of the Russian book school.
