This richly illustrated collection includes five popular Russian
folk tales: Vasilisa the Beautiful; Maria Morevna; The Feather of
Finist the Falcon; The Frog-Tsarevna; Tsarevich Ivan, the Firebird
and the Grey Wolf. The illustrations featured in this edition were
created in the early 20th century by Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin, a
famous Russian illustrator and stage designer, who was inspired by
Slavic folklore throughout his career. He was a prominent figure in
the artistic movement Mir Iskusstva and contributed to the Ballets
Russes. The tales were recorded by the renowned folklorist
Alexander Nikolayevich Afanasyev (1826-1871), who collected and
published more than 600 Russian folk tales in the middle 19th
century.
