Fairy Tales and Stories

Konstantin Dmitrievich Ushinsky, known as the founder of scientific pedagogy in Russia, brings his finest stories and fairy tales for listeners. He was also known as a talented children’s writer, creating works that carried moral lessons. His stories about nature and animals showed nature as an unknown world, while his children’s fairy tales enriched their knowledge of folk life. Ushinsky also wrote about children, and through examples showed them life lessons—hinting at which character traits they should get rid of best.
