## Description

Традиция устной передачи сказаний существовала с давних пор. Поэтому народные сказы, переходящие от поколения к поколению, доносят до нас частицу той давней эпохи, в которую они создавались. Более 600 сказок было записано и издано в 19-м веке выдающимся собирателем устного народного фольклора Александром Николаевичем Афанасьевым. Им, в частности, были записаны и сказки, вошедшие в этот сборник «Царевна-лягушка», «Сестрица Алёнушка и братец Иванушка», «Белая уточка», «Василиса Прекрасная», «Марья Моревна», «Пёрышко Финиста Ясна-Сокола», «Сказка об Иване-царевиче, Жар-птице и о Сером Волке». Издание богато иллюстрировано работами Ивана Яковлевича Билибина -- ярчайшего представителя объединения «Мир искусства».
