"The Russian Grandmother's Wonder Tales" by Louise Seymour Houghton is a collection of folklore stories written in the early 20th century. The tales are narrated by a grandmother to her little grandson, interweaving elements of Russian peasant life and Slavic humor. The stories feature a cast of animal characters such as Isegrim the Wolf, Reinecke the Fox, and other various animals, uncovering timeless lessons rooted in human nature through their adventures. The opening of the book introduces the little boy, who lives in a grander house within his village alongside his family, including his beloved grandmother. As the seasons change, the boy seeks stories from his grandmother, who spins wool while she recounts tales. The first story is about a wolf named Isegrim who dreams of being a Roman, which leads him on a humorous journey filled with mischief and miscalculations. The grandmother's storytelling, enriched with cultural references and moral lessons, captivates the boy and sets the tone for a series of enchanting tales blending folklore, humor, and insights into human folly.
