Good Russian Contemporary cloth bdg. One tear on one page, no missing on text. Some foxing on pages. 4to. (29 x 23 cm). In Russian. 51 p., 49 unnumbered b/w plates. Skazka o Çare saltane; o s'ne ego, Slavnom i mogucem bogatire kniaze gvidone saltanovice i o prekrasnoi charevne lebedi. This is a late 19th century edition. First Edition in 1831. [= The tale of Tsar Saltan]. The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son the Renowned and Mighty Bogatyr Prince Gvidon Saltanovich, and of the Beautiful Princess-Swan is an 1831 fairy tale in verse which is also a Pushkin-inspired opera by Dargomyzhsky and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1900. As a folk tale it is classified as Aarne-Thompson type 707 for its dancing water, singing apple and speaking bird. The story is about three sisters. The youngest is chosen by Tsar Saltan (Saltán) to be his wife. He orders the other two sisters to be his royal cook and weaver. They become jealous of their younger sister. When the tsar goes off to war, the tsaritsa gives birth to a son, Prince Gvidon (Gvidón.) The older sisters arrange to have the tsaritsa and the child sealed in a barrel and thrown into the sea. The sea takes pity on them and casts them on the shore of a remote island, Buyan. The son, having quickly grown while in the barrel, goes hunting. He ends up saving an enchanted swan from a kite bird. The swan creates a city for Prince Gvidon to rule, but he is homesick, so the swan turns him into a mosquito to help him. In this guise, he visits Tsar Saltan's court, where he stings his aunt in the eye and escapes. Back in his realm, the swan gives Gvidon a magical squirrel. But he continues to pine for home, so the swan transforms him again, this time into a fly. In this guise Prince Gvidon visits Saltan's court again and he stings his older aunt in the eye. The third time, the Prince is transformed into a bumblebee and stings the nose of his grandmother. OCLC has not this edition. Scarce.

With an institutional bookplate completed in manuscript and dated 1874 on front paste-down. Contains three improving tales for the young: The Two Watches, The Drinking-Fountain and Bank-Notes. Emily Steele Elliott (1836-1897) was the daughter of Edward Bishop Elliott, rector of St. Mark's, Brighton, and niece of the hymnist Charlotte Elliott. For some time editor of The Church Missionary Juvenile Instructor, she was the author of several collections of popular homilies for children. Like her aunt she was a talented hymnist, writing over one hundred well-known hymns including 'There came a little Child to Earth' and 'Thou didst leave thy Throne'. In the realm of hymnology, however, she is best remembered as one of the first English translators of Mohr's carol 'Silent Night'. Her translation was made in 1858 for the choir of St. Mark's, almost a decade after the first US version of 1849. However her version and its American counterpart were both eclipsed by John Freeman's Young's 'definitive' translation of the following year which remains the version most widely known today. The present collection was reissued at least twice, in 1878 and again in the 1880s. The first edition, as here, is very scarce, especially in this condition.

Very Good Very Good English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. [Lvii], 236 p. Two Tamil folktales: The story of King Matanakâma - The story of peacock Râvana. Translated from the Tamil by Kamil V. Zvelebil. "Taamil literary folklore has so far received little attention, in spite of a few early publications which appeared mostly in the 19th century. Mosst of Tamil literary texts translated into Western languages, or analyzed in Indological literature, belonged too the Tamil 'Great Tradition' of high literary culture. And yet, there exists an enormous wealth of oral and semi-oral traditions of verbal art in Tamil, as in any other Indian language; some of these pieces of literary folklore have appeared in print as chapbooks and are very popular with Tamil readers, but ignored by 'respactable' literary scholarship. The two folk-narratives translated in this book belong to the favourite pieces of Tamil folklore. Apart from being expressions of sheer narrative joy and creative fantasy of the Tamil people,they are a rich source of comparative data on various motifs, customs, stylistic devices etc., and therefore they will not only amuse and delight the general reader, but be of great use to all students of Indian literatures, and of comparative folklore.".
