These tales representing the folk lore of the eastern provinces of Poland and White Russia are of extreme age, some of them dating back to primitive Aryan times. There is an obvious likeness between them and the folk lore of other European nations and they are taken from a larger collection made by A. J. Glinski. They are beautifully illustrated in color by Cecile Walton, and an explanatory appendix is added by the translator. The tales are: The frog princess; Princess Miranda and Prince Hero; The eagles; The whirlwind; The good ferryman and the water nymphs; The princess of the Brazen Mountain; The bear in the forest hut.
“The vivacious illustrations by Cecile Walton show a conscientious striving to interpret these unfamiliar themes.”
