In this volume selections are presented made from the Russian chap-book literature, and from the works of various Russian and Polish collectors of Folklore — Afanasief, Erben, Wójcicki, Gliński, etc. The chap-book tales, and many of those of Gliński, are, there is little doubt, of foreign origin, but since Russia and Poland are the countries in which these tales have found their home, and since they have there been so adapted by the people as to incorporate the national customs and lore, they appear to belong properly to the present volume.
