Translated from Ukrainian sources, these stories feature Oh the Tsar of the Forest, the wind that sweeps away a peasant’s corn, a vampire defeated by Saint Michael, the serpent-wife, Tremsin and the firebird Zhar, and animals who repay an old man’s kindness. Devils, enchanted drums and resourceful peasants abound.

A rich source for Slavic folklore, illustrated by Noel Nisbet. Download the free EPUB.
