Book Synopsis
Widely regarded as the Russian Grimm, A.N. Afanas'ev collected folktales from throughout the Russian Empire. Up to now, there has been no complete English-language version of the Russian folktales of Afanas'ev. This translation is based on L. G. Barag and N. V. Novikov's edition, widely regarded as the authoritative edition.

Trade Review
The Afanas’ev collection of folktales is an essential source for the study of Russian culture and literature, and having a good translation of the complete collection will be a wonderful asset. Afanas’ev has had tremendous influence on Russian writers and on their (and our) general understanding of what Russian culture means, and he has impacted writers generation after generation. This is THE collection of Russian folktales."" - Sibelan Forrester, professor of Russian at Swarthmore College and translator of Baba Yaga: The Wild Witch of the East in Russian Fairy Tales, published by University Press of Mississippi
