Russian Myths

This Siberian Mythology Collection brings together two classics by ethnographer Waldemar Bogoras—Chukchee Mythology and Tales of the Yukaghir, Lamut, and Other Siberian Tribes. Preserved in oral tradition and recorded during Bogoras’s expeditions in the Russian Far East, these myths reveal the soul of one of the most remote cultures on earth.

Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) wrote Old Peter's Russian Tales while he was in Russia during the First World War, prior to becoming a war correspondent for The Manchester Guardian. There are 22 stories in all and are told by Old Peter at the behest of his grandchildren, Ivan and Maroosia, in a cozy log cabin in the middle of the forest. These are delightful re-tellings in Ransome's own words of Russian folk tales, and include stories such as "The Little Snow Girl", "Baba Yaga", "Frost", and "Salt".

Russia is the largest country in the world, with the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons. Over a thousand years this multifaceted nation of shifting borders has been known as Rus, Muscovy, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Thirty years ago, it was reinvented as the Russian Federation. Russia is not an enigma, but its past is violent, tragic, sometimes glorious, and certainly complicated. Like the rest of us, the Russians constantly rewrite their history. They too omit episodes of national disgrace in favour of patriotic anecdotes, sometimes more rooted in myth than reality.

Long cold winter nights make for good story telling, so it's scarcely surprising that some of the world's most wonderful fairy tales come from Russia. Soar through the air in 'The Flying ship', feel the frost freeze your bones in 'The Strange Bridegroom', sail the seven seas in a ship with patchwork sails in 'The Salt Mountain'. These are stories guaranteed to delight in another outstanding edition of Classic Children's Stories.

The fourth installment of Russian Collection for Kids features stories that begin in everyday life and end in magic. Their main characters are children - boys and girls thrown into tough circumstances and having to test the limits of their courage and ingenuity to solve problems without grown-up help.
