Russian Fairy Tales by Gillian Avery

4.0

In my quest to collect all of the books in the Everyman’s Library Children’s Collection, my brother bought this for me for Christmas last year. I really enjoyed my time reading this collection of Russian fairy tales. I’m not overly familiar with them and really don’t know too much about Russia as a whole. The artwork was fantastic and one of my favorite parts of the book. This book does have classic fairy tale ideals where the females are the damsels and the boys are the heroes. When I know it’s a classic and something from generations and generations before my time, I’m not as bothered. It’s hard to pick but I think my favorite story was 'Tsarvich Ivan, the Firebird and the Grey Wolf'. I did for the most part really enjoy my time reading this story and I think it’s my second favorite read of January.

Short Stories and Fairy Tales- MVP too hard to pick so I’m skipping for this book.
