In these epic tales are forest-dwelling spirits, wolves that talk, super-human heroes, magic spells and strange encounters.Pyotr Simonov is a Byzantine scholar who is fluent in Russian, Georgian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Greek. He is particularly interested in the relationship between traditional Russian Cultural beliefs and ecology.
