An awesome collection of seven Russian fairy tales illustrated by Bilibin. All the stories are strange, vivid, and compelling, and include two of my favorite: Ivan, The Grey Wolf, and the Firebird, and Vasilisa the Beautiful. The turn-of-the-century illustrations by Bilibin are gorgeous. Probably my favorite find at the used bookstore here. ( )

This is the first book that made me fall in love with the Pantheon Fairy Tale Library.

It's a collection of Russian Folk Tales, with a decent index and cute illustrations that go along with the stories. ( )

Folio society's publication of [b:Russian Fairy Tales|164695|Russian Fairy Tales (Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library)|Alexander Afanasyev|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320464955s/164695.jpg|159010] by Pantheon, which is one of my favoritest books in the universe. Evar. It has all of the same myths and folk tales (none omitted) as the "regular" Pantheon version. Beautifully bound and with 15 pen and ink illustrations from selected folk tales. It's like my favorite book in the universe mated with a giant ball of awesome, implanted the blastocyst in a tree that had an artist captive inside and then had a beautiful baby made of win. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0394730909, Paperback)

Translated by Norbert Guterman
Illustrated with black-and-white line drawings by Alexander Alexeieff
Part of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library

In this most comprehensive collection of classic Russian tales available in English we meet both universal fairy-tale figures—thieves and heroes, kings and peasants, beautiful damsels and terrifying witches, enchanted children and crafty animals—and such uniquely Russian characters as Koshchey the Deathless, Baba Yaga, the Swan Maiden, and the glorious Firebird. The more than 175 tales culled from a centuries-old Russian storytelling tradition by the outstanding Russian ethnographer Aleksandr Afanas’ev reveal a rich, robust world of the imagination that will fascinate readers both young and old.
