Review: Beautiful book - Bought this book and couldn’t put it down. There are 5 wonderful stories with beautiful art. The book has been translating using a Classic Medieval English approach regarding pronouns and phrasing to emphasise the fairy-tale genre, so some may find it a little odd to read in the beginning if they’re not used to that. Also, I assume the translator tried to keep close to the original Russian structure as there are common sayings which I’ve never heard before but really enjoyed all the same as they brought a lovely unique touch. Per usual, the tales have moralising messages which many of us will remember from the classical fairy-tales of our own childhood. This book is great for all ages and a must if you’ve already read the Brother Grimms and Joseph Jacobs.
Review: Quality Writing Russian Fairy Tales ( - Like stories. Loved illustrations. Entertaining. Selection of stories we're interesting. A bit repetitive in style, but reflected the epoch and style of this period of writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful book for lovers of Bilibin's art.
*by A***R on 28 November 2013*

This is a superb book with good quality illustrations on lovely silky pages. I have seen some very poor reviews of this book but maybe they were for the paperback - I bought the hardback. The text font and layout were lovely too, The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the language is archaic, and I thought that if anyone bought it to read to small children they might be disappointed. I bought it to wallow in the beautiful illustrations, and it lives up to all my expectations.
