More Russian Picture Tales is a collection of Russian folk stories compiled and illustrated by Valerian Viliamovich Karrik, a 19th-century artist and illustrator known for his work bringing Russian popular tradition to wider audiences. The tales draw on the deep well of Slavic folk narrative — heroes, enchantments, and moral lessons familiar from Russian oral tradition.
