Interesting stories - It seems the theme is the same. I wonder if our Hans Christian Anderson Fairy tales have the same repetitive story? ( )

I bought the Kindle version of this, and I was very pleased with it. I am looking at it on my iPhone, and I am sure that it is even better on a actual Kindle or a tablet. Bilibin's illustrations are beautiful, detailed, and glowing, and being on Kindle can be expanded to see the detail. These are long versions of the stories, which is fine with me. The automatic print is a little small on the iPhone, but of course can be enlarged, and probably is no problem on a larger device. My only complaint is that there is no table of contents and it is apparently not possible to bookmark the beginnings of the tales.

Contents:
Vasilisa the Beautiful
Maria Morevna
Finist the Falcon
The Frog-Tsarevna
Tsarevich Ivan, the Firebird and the Grey Wolf ( )

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. ( )
