Poland, Russia, Bohemia, and Servia have contributed stories to this little collection. It may be said that the Bohemian tales, perhaps through the genius of the poets who have preserved them, have, in their original form, more art, more grace, more completeness of outline, than the others. Those from Poland reflect the passive virtues and genial warmth of the peasants whose lives they illustrate. A greater simplicity, amounting even to childishness, will be found to characterise the Russian stories. Those from Servia are in some features unique, and may be found the most interesting of the series. The exalted imagination of the Servian race is allied with keen and homely sense, and their vigorous and beautiful romances called forth the admiration of Goethe. It is hoped that these varied characteristics may not wholly have evaporated in translation. (From the Preface.)This delightful book contains forty tales from the Slavonic lands, entitled as follows:Carried Away by the WindWhy is the Sole of Man’s Foot Uneven?The Snow-ChildThe Demon’s DanceThe Plague-OmenStory of Gol VoyanskyLidushka and the Water Demon’s WifeThe Hare’s HeartThe Wonderful HairStory of Vasilisa with the Golden Tress,and of Ivan the PeaThe Emperor Trojan’s Goat’s EarsThe Language of AnimalsThe Evil EyeHuntsman the UnluckyHow to Choose a WifeThe PlagueGolden HairThe Plague and the PeasantHandicraft above EverythingIvan KruchinaRight and WrongMen-WolvesYanechek and the Water DemonSpirit TreasuresJust Earnings are Never LostStory of Little SimpletonJonekThe Maiden who was Swifterthan the HorseThe Book of MagicThe Wise JudgmentTwardowskiThe Maiden who was Wiserthan the KingMadeyThe Long-desired ChildThe Wicked Wood-FaysThe Wonderful BirdWisdom and FortuneThe Three BrothersThe Brownie, or House SpiritAll about Twopence
