A beautiful children's book, finely illustrated in colour.

Tales illustrated by Bilibin are among the most famous children's books both within and outside of Russia. One of the nation's most influential illustrators, Bilibin first came to prominence when some of these folkloric illustrations were shown as part of an exhibition by the Mir Iskusstva.

Landscape folio (255 x 325 mm.); 12 chromolithographs in the text (5 full-page), minor scattered staining and offsetting to a couple of illustrations; publisher's pictorial wrappers, repairs to spine, covers a little marked, a fine example.
