There was once an old woman who was a terrible witch and she had a daughter and a granddaughter. The time came for the old crone to die . . .
The 1887 collection of Russian Fairy Tales by W. R. S. Ralston is a collection of Slavonic Folk-Lore, presenting and discussing the stories told in peasant villages from generation to generation and introduces many characters character types that have become staples of horror and speculative fiction.
In these tales we meet witches and warlocks, wise men and women and fools. Vampires, Zombies and Baba Yaga. Their stories are all here, along with learned discussions of their significance and origins.
There were once three brothers, of whom two were sharp-witted but the third was a fool . . .
Wild Arancini Classics is delighted to revive this wonderful new edition of Russian Fairy Tales by W. R. S. Ralston.
