Folk Tales from the Russian

The attribution 'Folk Tales from the Russian' suggests a collection of traditional Russian folktales, likely compiled by an editor or folklorist rather than a single author. These tales, including 'The Language of the Birds,' 'Seven Simeons,' 'Ivanoushka the Simpleton,' and 'The Tsarevna Frog,' represent a vital cultural heritage of Russia. Such collections were often assembled by scholars and folklorists in the 19th and early 20th centuries, during a period of heightened interest in national folklore and the preservation of oral traditions. While specific details about the compiler or editor of these tales are unknown, the works reflect the rich narrative tradition of Russian folklore, characterized by themes of magic, heroism, and the triumph of the underdog.
