FAIRY-TALES OF SIBERIAN FOLKS - compiled by Galina Smirnova - translated by Olga
Myazina and Galina Shchitnikova, 1992. This selection contains fairy-tales of
the following indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Russian Far North: Russian,
Tuvinian, Evenk, Selkup, Dolgan, Yakut, Tofalarian, Ket, Buryat, Mansi, Nenets,
Khakass, Nanai, Nganassan and Shorian; as well as proverbs, signs, sayings, and
a short glossary of little known words and expressions in Russian and English.
Some of these peoples are extremely small in number. For example, there are
less than a thousand Tofalarians and Shorians. So it is all the more important
to pass on their rich oral heritage to the young readers of today. Hard
cover - 207 pages.
