This outstanding book of collected stories includes fairytales of a great Russian poet A.S. Pushkin, such as: Ruslan and Lyudmila, Tale of Tsar Saltan, The Golden Cockorel, Tale of the Pope and of his Workman Balda, Tale of the Dead Princess, Tale of the Fisherman and the Little Fish.

An important part of Pushkin’s literary heritage is his fairy tales, which are based on Russian folklore. Pushkin’s tales have always been a favorite subject matter for the painting school of Palekh, a famous old center of icon-painting and lacquer miniatures. The fantastically beautiful miniatures by the Palekh masters adorn jewelry boxes, plaques, powder cases and other artifacts made of papier-mâché. They enchant the viewer as a precious amalgam of shining vibrant colors on an enigmatic black background, lit up by the sparkles of lacework golden ornamentation.
