Geese-Swans and Other Russian Tales

This book collects the most beloved, the most famous, and very different Russian fairy tales.

Funny stories — about a capricious heron, witty stories — about a resourceful seven-year-old daughter who managed to fulfill the most intricate tasks and save her father, and even scary tales — about the evil Baba Yaga who wanted to eat a little girl.

In all the tales, good always defeats evil, stupidity and greed are punished, and friends always come to help.
