Fairy Tales of the Russians and Other Slavs by Ace G. Pilkington, Olga A. Pilkington
3.0
I liked this. Russian tales have a different feel compared to French or German stories and I am happy to have this book in my collection. I wasn't as charmed as I thought I would be, until I got to the "undead" section, or anything with the Baba Yaga. Loved those stories!
Besides personal preference I think my biggest problem has to be with the format. The introduction, while full of interesting information, needed to be cleaned up in terms of citation with a different style. There were also stories where it seemed characters were switched or I couldn't tell who was speaking.
