Overview
This charmingly illustrated storybook recalls favorite animal and folk tales from the author's Russian childhood in the 1870s. Many of the stories have themes of the small and the weak outwitting larger, more menacing adversaries, as in "The Tortoise and the Elephant" and "The Owl, the Fox and the Crow," as well as the story of the three goats--all named Bruze--who foil "a horrible goblin, as fat as a balloon, with eyes as big as saucers and a nose like a poker."Ten Russian animal folk tales, including "The Tortoise and the Elephant," "The Ram and the Leopard," and "The Wolf's Dream."
