Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales

by R. Nisbet Bain

Ukrainian folk tales chosen and translated by Robert Nisbet Bain, first published in 1894 and here in the edition of 1916, with pictures by Noel L. Nisbet. He took them from the collections of Kulish, Rudchenko and Drahomanov, and called them Cossack tales, as English readers then did. The Fox and the Cat is the children’s room’s own Пан Коцький, and the reader goes from one to the other.
