Russian Magic Tales from Pushkin to Platonov




A unique and enchanting collection of Russian folk tales collected over the last two centuries

In these magical Russian tales ranging from 1800 to the late twentieth century, wicked stepmothers turn girls into geese and tsars lay down dangerous riddles, with help or hindrance from magical dolls, cannibal witches, talking skulls, stolen wives, and brothers disguised as wise birds, from authors as varied as Alexandr Pushkin, Olga Ozarovskaya, Irina Karnaukhova and Dmitry Balashov.
