About the author
A. N. (Aleksandr Nikolaevich) Afanas'ev
1826–1871
Best known for gathering and publishing hundreds of Russian fairy tales, this 19th-century folklorist helped preserve a huge body of traditional stories that might otherwise have been lost. His work has shaped how generations of readers imagine Russian folklore, from folktales and legends to beliefs about nature and mythic creatures.
