Product Overview

This charming volume 2 of Tales from Tartary features thirty nine folktales from the Tartar region of Russia, with charming illustrations throughout by Anthony Colbert.

The stories include:

  • Yerensay's Forty Fables
  • The Nightingale's Song
  • The Wolf and the Tailor
  • Two Lazy Brothers
  • The Three Daughters
  • The Golden Vase
  • The Leaning Silver Birch
  • and so many more

This book is in very good condition, except it's missing the dust jacket. Otherwise the signatures and pages are clean and straight, no interior markings, and the spine is in very good condition. Despite not having the dust jacket, the book will look very handsome on your shelf, with its gold leaf title on the spine and the clean, tan colored cloth boards.
