Cossack Fairy Tales

Read by Adam Wilkans, Kurt, deongines, Lynda Marie Neilson, Anthony Castellani, C. Morey, Devorah Allen, Kyle Donelan, jenno, Patrick Saville, Garth Burton

This is a volume of fairy tales and folk tales from the Cossack people, compiled and translated by Robert Nisbet Bain. The tales are special as most children will not have heard them a hundred times before, and as they take listeners into a different region of the realm of the fairy tale.

The Cossacks are a group of people living mostly in what is now Ukraine and Russia. The fairy and folk tales contained in this volume allow a glimpse into both the cultural traditions of the Cossack people, as well as into how this culture was perceived by others. - Summary by Carolin
