Essential Russian Mythology by Pyotr Simonov

The first available comprehensive collection of the myths and stories of Russia. This book takes the reader into the complex and mysterious world of Russian legends, which were shaped by the experiences of pre-Christian Slavic people and recorded through an ancient oral tradition which survived the establishment of Orthodox religion. In these epic tales are forest-dwelling spirits, wolves that talk, super-human heroes, magic spells and strange encounters.
