The Tale of Tsarevich Ivan, the Firebird, and the Grey Wolf by Alexander Afanasyev
The popular Russian fairy tale about Tsarevich Ivan befriended by a clever grey wolf was recorded by the renowned folklorist Alexander Nikolayevich Afanasyev (1826-1871), who collected and published more than 600 Russian folk tales in the middle 19th century.
The illustrations included in this edition were created by Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin, a famous Russian illustrator and stage designer, who was inspired by Slavic folklore throughout his career. He was a prominent figure in the artistic movement Mir Iskusstva and contributed to the Ballets Russes.
Alexander Afanasyev (1826-71) was a Russian Slavist and ethnographer. He is best remembered today for his monumental Tales from Russian Folklore, one of the largest collections of folk tales in the world.
