"The Russian Story Book" retold by Richard Wilson is a collection of tales extracted from the rich tapestry of Russian folklore and the historic song-cycles of Kiev and Novgorod, likely written in the early 20th century. The book aims to illuminate the ideals and perspectives of early Russian culture through its legends, often featuring larger-than-life heroes such as Ilya of Murom. The stories blend themes of valor, adventure, and the heroic spirit while attempting to appeal to a youthful audience. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Ilya of Murom, a young man who, after thirty years of disability, is visited by holy men who restore his strength. With newfound abilities, he decides to embark on a journey to the royal city of Kiev, revealing his courageous nature as he seeks adventure. Ilya meets Svyatogor, another formidable hero, and their introduction is filled with wonder and camaraderie. The opening sets the tone for a series of adventurous tales, focusing on the heroism and mythical elements inherent in Russian folklore.
