Graduated Exercises Rendered Into EnglishNotes, and Glossary. 8vo, cloth, decorated with a Russian Art Design.Russia is particularly rich in legends, folklore, and popular tales, and the literature of this kind which it possesses is particularly worth reading, not only as a matter of study, but also for delight. It is better and more human folklore than most of our more Western matter, pos sibly because it is less barbarous. It does not take its rise from Scandin avian mythology, but from a gentle N ature-worship. This volume is a good one, and worth consideration as an authentic fragment of Russian literature. -the Times.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
