I started reading this easily four years ago... I keep coming back to it.
This is the first book that made me fall in love with the Pantheon Fairy Tale Library.It's a collection of Russian Folk Tales, with a decent index and cute illustrations that go along with the stories.
My copy arrived today! It is a lovely book and I'm thrilled!
