********This is a book written far away in Russia, for English
children who play in deep lanes with wild roses above them
in the high hedges, or by the small singing becks that dance
down the gray fells at home. Russian fairyland is quite different.
Under my windows the wavelets of the Volkhov (which has its
part in one of the stories) are beating quietly in the dusk. A gold
light burns on a timber raft floating down the river. Beyond the river
in the blue midsummer twilight are the broad Russian plain and the
distant forest. Somewhere in that forest of great trees--a forest so
big that the forests of England are little woods beside it--is the hut
where old Peter sits at night and tells these stories to his grandchildren.

********Born in Burma in 1870, Scottish writer H.H. Munro (his pseudonym is from FitzGerald's
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam) satirized the social conventions, cruelty and foolishness of the

often overlaid with a mood of horror.
