This review is from: Russian Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
I've owned this book for roughly 5 years and I still pick it up and read some of the stories or flip through the pages to look at the beautiful and eerie illustrations. I am a big fan of Russian culture, history and especially the mythology and old Slav folklore. These stories are fascinating for children and even more intriguing for adults because of the underlying themes and complexities, metaphorical and political subtext in relation to historical Russian culture and the traditional style of narrative language and tone. Filled with dark humour, intelligent and imaginative twists and lots of charming and weird characters, this book is timeless. You'll find yourself picking it up and reading through it before bed every so-often for ages to come.
