"The Complete Russian Folktale" makes available to English readers
a rich folk tradition that has not been easily accessible or well
known in the West. Compared to other European traditions, the East
Slavs have an extremely large number of tale types. Using the
Russian version of the Aarne-Thompson index to folktale types, and
drawing on both archival and written sources dating back to the
early sixteenth century, J.V. Haney has assembled and translated
examples of the full range of tales. Nearly all of these tales will
appear here in translation for the first time. Volume 6 presents
tales classified 850-999, which describe the travails of young
people who are seeking happiness and love. They portray acts of
fate, prophecy, and even divine justice, in a village context of
social misery, folk tradition, the aggravations of family life, and
the heartaches of the lovelorn. J.V. Haney's extensive introduction
and annotations explain the structure of the tales, their place in
the A-T system and in folklore studies, and the specifics of their
Russian provenance.
