The existence of the Russian Skazld or Mdrchen was first made generally known to the British Public some twenty years ago by Mr. W. R. S. Ralston in his Russian Folk Tales. That excellent and most engrossing volume was, primarily, a treatise on

Slavonic Folk- Lore, illustrated with admirable skill and judgment, by stories, mainly selected from the vast collection of Afanasiev, who did for the Russian

what Asbjornsen has done for the Norwegian Folk-Tale. A year after the appearance of Mr. Ralston s book, the eminent Russian historian and archaeologist,

Peter Nikolaevich Polevoi (well known, too, as anable and ardent Shaksperian scholar), selected from the inexhaustible stores of Afanasiev some three

dozen of the Skazki most suitable for children, and worked them up into a fairy tale book which waspublished at St. Petersburg in 1874, under the title

of Narodnuiya Russkiya Skazld (Popular Russian Marchen).
