Great Russian tales. Volume 9. In 2 books

The collection of Great Russian fairy tales was published by two issues in Petrograd in 1917, then the collection was not reprinted for a long time and managed to become a rarity. Alexey Matveevich Smirnov-Kutachevsky, who was entrusted with the preparation of this collection, placed 367 fairy tales from many provinces of Russia in it, which allows the reader to evaluate all the wealth and diversity of the fairy-tale tradition of our country.
A distinctive feature of this volume is precisely the wide geography of the collected fairy tales, ranging from the northern regions to the southern regions.
by publishing this collection, we have preserved the main dialect and phonetic features of the living speech of the fairy tale, only slightly simplifying reading for the needs of the modern reader.
