Myths of the Russian People

The famous folklorist and ethnographer Georgy Markovich Naumenko traveled extensively across Russia, collecting and recording beliefs, legends, and tales about creatures that inhabit everywhere: in forests, fields, swamps, rivers, and lakes, in yards and huts. Our book contains some of the beliefs collected by G. Naumenko: about the house spirit, Leshy, Lesovik, Bannik, mermaids, and others. Illustrations by I. Tsygankov. For younger school age.
