Slavic Myths

This collection weaves together Slavic mythology with the legends, folklore, and fairy tales of Eastern Europe. Based on the oral storytelling traditions of Eastern European peoples, including the Poles, Slovaks, Macedonians, Czechs, and Serbians, this collection features tales rooted in pagan folklore and influenced by the Viking traders who settled in Kiev during the early Middle Ages. There are stories full of mountains, magic palaces, temples, and incredible tales such as “The King of the Toads,” “Vassilissa the Cunning,” “The Tsar of the Sea,” and “The Feather of Bright Finist the Falcon.”
