Summary "The Russian Garland, Being Russian Folk Tales" by Steele and Rosciszewski is a collection of translated folk tales drawn from peasant chap-books, originally compiled in Moscow around the early 19th century. This anthology showcases various narratives rich in folklore, heroic quests, and moral lessons that capture the essence of Russian cultural heritage. Central characters include enchanted princes, cunning animals, and brave heroes who embark on transformative journeys, often facing trials against whimsical foes. The opening of this folk tale collection introduces the story of Lyubim Tsarevich, the youngest son of Tsar Elidarovich and Tsarina Militissa Ibrahimovna. The narrative begins with Lyubim's determination to find his missing elder brothers who had set out in search of adventure. After convincing his parents to let him travel, he encounters an old woman who reveals the secrets of a forbidden meadow where he discovers a powerful horse and armor. Upon launching into his adventure, Lyubim decides to choose the perilous left road leading to a Winged Wolf, demonstrating his resolve and bravery, which set the tone for his forthcoming challenges. As the adventure unfolds, themes of loyalty, courage, and the quest for love prominently feature, engaging readers with a sense of wonder typical of folklore.
