Bob Jones, Frank van Drogen, Tamiko I. Camacho and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Folk Tales from the Russian" by Verra Xenophontovna Kalamatiano De Blumenthal is a collection of traditional Russian folklore retold for children, likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves to preserve the rich tapestry of Russian fairy tales, legends, and folktales that depict the joys, struggles, and moral lessons of early Slavic life. Through stories featuring charming characters like the brave Tsarevitch Ivan and the enigmatic Baba Yaga, this collection seeks to introduce American children to the enchanting worldview of Russian folklore. The opening of this collection features the foreword which emphasizes the urgency to preserve vanishing folk tales in the face of modernization. The first tale introduced is "The Tsarevna Frog," where the youngest prince, Ivan Tsarevitch, must marry a frog after his arrow lands in a swamp, leading to unexpected mystical adventures involving his frog bride, who reveals a hidden beauty and wisdom. The tale unfolds as Ivan Tsarevitch grapples with his fate, navigating challenges and finding friendship and courage in the unlikeliest of circumstances. Throughout the opening, the importance of accepting one's destiny and understanding the value of love beyond appearances is poignantly illustrated.
