TALES OF A RUSSIAN GRANDMOTHER

Edition: Later printing.

New York: Doubleday, Doran & Co., Inc., 1943. dj. Hardcover - The second of her popular Grandmother series by this American folklorist, traveler and photographer, books which used the device of a grandmother as narrator to convey details of national culture as well as its folk legends. This book - containing "genuine" stories, translated from original Russian sources with the classic illustrations by Ivan Bilibin - including a full color frontispiece and seven internal color plates, eight black and white plates, and numerous black and white in-text illustrations, decorations and illuminated letters at the beginning of each story - was her breakthrough book. 292 pp.

Condition: Ex-library, in sturdy library binding, with some reading wear in a very good example of the extremely scarce dust jacket (which reproduces the illustration of the maiden and the Frost King) - the dust jacket is slightly larger than the book, has the price of $2.00 on the flap and notes on the back cover that it was produced under wartime conditions.
