Book of Russian Fairy Tales

This is the book that inspires me a lot in my childhood
Book of Russian fairy tales translated in Marathi,
There are 17 stories altogether, featuring “Sundar Vasilisa”,
means “Beautiful Vasilisa”,
Story about Little girl encounter with evil witch in the woods,
Story contains lot of visual elements which I cherish till now,
Like,
Witches Hut which standing on a chicken leg,
Talking Russian Doll, fence made of glowing skulls,
And lot more

what so u mean by wicked snow queen???

why don't you make an adapted version???completely illustrated in your style???

I saw the raven.. i tried to comment, but i have no midea how to do it..din't find any way to comment.

the movie was cool..the animation and Shaiulesh's picturization was very well done..it's just that unless a lay-man hasn't read the poem "The Raven", it would be hard to comprehend its real beauty.

Hi,

Many thanks for sharing this beautiful book.

Some of us are trying to build a repository of scanned books. These are available at http://www.facebook.com/SovietLiteratureInMarathi and https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B6QdKq6q5WvFYldoNVFoakRSS0k/edit?pli=1&docId=0B6QdKq6q5WvFOTZSQzhyMEVEX1U.
