“Louise Seymour Houghton openly confesses to having been prompted by ‘Uncle Remus’ in her mode of treating ‘The Russian grandmother’s wonder tales,’ a collection revealing the simple life of the Slavonians; at the same time in a short preface the author indicates analogies which reveal how close in contact legends of different lands often are. The book is excellently printed and effectively illustrated by W. T. Benda.”—Ind.
“An excellent collection from authentic sources.”

“Since Slavonic-tales do not seem yet to be ‘vieux jeu,’ we recommend this charming little work as a gift-book.”
