Description
A unique collection of Russian short stories from the last 200 years brings together folk tales and literary supernatural elements. These stories feature magical dolls, cannibal witches, talking skulls, and other fantastical creatures, as well as young women on perilous quests and wicked stepmothers with surprising consequences. The book includes reworkings of oral tales by four of Russia's greatest writers: Nadezhda Teffi, Pavel Bazhov, Andrey Platonov, and Alexander Pushkin. Classic stories such as Baba Yaga, Vasilisa the Beautiful, Father Frost, and the Frog Princess are also included. Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines, with authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
