Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales
Book Overview:
This is a volume of fairy tales and folk tales from the Cossack people, compiled and translated by Robert Nisbet Bain. The tales are special as most children will not have heard them a hundred times before, and as they take listeners into a different region of the realm of the fairy tale.
The Cossacks are a group of people living mostly in what is now Ukraine and Russia. The fairy and folk tales contained in this volume allow a glimpse into both the cultural traditions of the Cossack people, as well as into how this culture was perceived by others

But the huntsman galloped on before and hid himself.
They went on a little farther till they came to a spring, and the water of that spring was so pure and clear that words cannot describe it.
