About this listen

Be transported into the enchanting world of Slavic mythology with this collection of two classic books.

This audiobook is annotated with a historical introduction to the Slavs.

In "Fairy Tales of the Slav Peasants and Herdsmen," Alexander Chodzko takes us on a journey through the rich and vibrant folklore of Slavic peasants and herdsmen. It features a collection of 20 fairy tales from the Slavic nations and territories, which was first released in French. It was a compilation of the well-known fairy tales that had been passed down from one generation to the next. Chodzko had gathered the tales for posterity. In 1896, Emily Harding published her translation in English.

Albert Wratislaw, an English priest and Slavonic scholar, wrote the second book in this collection called "60 Folk Tales from Exclusively Slavonic Sources". The book was first published in 1890, and it is a collection of 60 folk tales. The stories are divided into Bohemian, Moravian, Hungarian-Slovenish, Upper and Lower Lusatian, Kashubian, Polish, White Russian, Little Russian Stories (from Galicia), Little Russian Stories (from South Russia), Great Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Serbian Stories from Bosnia, Serbian Stories from Carniola, Croatian, and Illyrian-Slovenish. The stories in this book were taken from "One Hundred Slavic Folk Tales and Legends in Original Dialects" by Karel Jaromir Erben, which came out in 1865.

Together, these books offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of Slavic mythology, with its unique blend of fantasy, folklore, and ancient wisdom. Whether you're a mythology enthusiast, a lover of fairy tales, or simply looking for an immersive story, this collection is sure to delight.

Don't miss out on this captivating collection of Slavic mythology.

Yes, I was surprised with all these folk stories. They are amazing and amusing. And the best of all, you can find both books in the public domain.

The first one, "Fairy Tales of the Slavs Peasants" by the Polish poet Alexander Chodzko, became one of my favorites.

I'm still reading/listening the second one, but I'm completely dazed.

Long life the Folklore!
