Russian Folk Fairy Tales is a wonderful collection of the most famous Russian fairy tales. The "Russian skazki" ("skazatz" means to tell) are the mass of folk-tales distributed widely throughout all the Russias. Handed down, by constant repetition, from generation to generation, a possession common to peasant's hut and Prince's palace from a time when history did not exist, they are to-day, from Archangel to the Black Sea, and from Siberia to the Baltic, almost as much a part of the life of the people as the language itself.  Contents:  Vasilisa the Beautiful Marya Morevna Morozko Finist Clear Falcon 's feather Sister Alenushka, brother Ivanushka The Tale of Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf Princess FrogAlexander Afanasyev (1826–1871) was a Russian Slavist and ethnographer who published nearly 600 Russian fairy and folk tales, one of the largest collections of folklore in the world.
