Folklore and Legends - Russian and Polish (1890)

This volume presents selections made from the Russian chap-book literature, and from the works of various Russian and Polish collectors of Folklore. The chap-book tales are of foreign origin, but since Russia and Poland are the countries in which these tales have found their home, and since they have there been so adapted by the people as to incorporate the national customs and lore, they appear to belong properly in the present volume.
