About this book
Russian peasants' tales, taken down in the nineteenth century, reach English in Leonard A. Magnus's selection from the collection of A. N. Afanasev, published in 1915 with his introduction and notes. The introduction places folk-tales within a people's cultural development, from nature spirits and local cults that outlived the coming of Christianity to stories handed down by word of mouth. It names collectors who recorded songs, ballads and tales between about 1850 and 1870, and sets the tales beside the Russian chronicles and the epic songs called bylíny.
