Russian Fairy Tales by Alexander Afanasyev

4.0

Read this for research on a short story I’m writing. Brutal and symbolic and strangely lovely. In the same scandi-germanic vein of frightful magic as Hans Christen Anderson and the Brother’s Grimm. I remember being haunted by a picture book of one of the Baba Yaga stories as a youth.
