Tales. At Lukomorye

The collection includes the best-known fairy-tale works by A. S. Pushkin: the poem «Ruslan and Ludmila» and several verse fairy tales—«The Tale of the Priest and of His Servant Baldа», «The Tale of the She-Bear», «The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish», «The Tale of the Golden Cockerel», «The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights», and «The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son the Glorious and Mighty Hero, Prince Gvidon Saltanovich, and of the Beautiful Swan Maiden». Here, magic and folk motifs intertwine with Pushkin’s vivid language: the characters face trials, come up against cunning and greed, learn faithfulness and justice, and in most cases, good triumphs. The book is suitable for family reading and for introducing children to the classics of Russian literature.
