“A delightful collection of Russian folk tales. As an avid fairy tale lover, I was very excited about this book as it gave me a chance to step outside of the typical Western stories, and experience the tales of a culture other than my own. The many whimsical and unique tales made for a very enjoyable read. The entire book is "narrated" by Old Peter - a fictional character and the grandfather of two young children - who is telling these tales to his grandchildren at bed time. It cleverly touches on various story telling practices in this way as well which I thought was a nice touch.”
