Russian Fairy Tales

The book "Russian Fairy Tales" includes the most famous works of Vladimir Ivanovich Dal. V. I. Dal (1801–1872) was a writer, collector of folklore, and creator of the "Explanatory Dictionary of the Great Russian Language," which has remained relevant for over 150 years. In 1832, V. I. Dal published his first major literary work — "Russian Fairy Tales." By putting oral folk traditions on paper, Dal made a huge breakthrough in the study of Russian folklore.
