"Traditional Russian Fairy Tales... lacquer miniatures" translated by Paul Williams

I have to say that this was a mediocre translation. Passages in one or two of the stories were very garbled indeed. However, I did enjoy the experience of the book.... the smell, the illustrations, the references to Baba Yaga whom I know from my own childhood. It's hard to find specifically Polish titles, so this is why I have broadened my horizons to Russian.
