Russian Heroes. Folk Tales Retold for Children

Strong, mighty Russian heroes! Volga, Svyatogor, Mikula, Alyosha Popovich, Dobrynya, Ilya Muromets… They differ in appearance, character, and origin, but they are all beloved by the people. They perform feats in dense forests, on steppe expanses, in mountains, in underground passages, at sea…

The famous folklorist Irina Karnaukova brilliantly retold folk tales for children - both widely popular and less known. The talented artist Nikolai Kocherzhin created equally bright, memorable images of Russian heroes. Their book was first published in 1949.
