Tales of Bygone Times

It features true masterpieces of French literary fairy tales, a genre that in the 17th-18th centuries was... not at all considered to be "children's" literature. The translation was done by the famous St. Petersburg poet, translator, and writer Mikhail Yasnov specifically for the publishing house "Vita Nova." Illustrations by the outstanding Italian artist Umberto Brunelleschi (1879-1949), reproduced from the Paris edition of 1912, are published in Russia for the first time.
