On this page we mixed Russian folk tales with fairy tales from other far off lands. Russian children love tales about the Russian witch Baba Yaga or the Three Bears no less than magical stories by Hans Christian Andersen or the Grimm Brothers. Here you will find a little bit of both - in Russian, English and French languages. You may also want to see what folk and fairy tales are featured in audio books and our bilingual section.
