From Baba Yaga to the watery world of the rusalka to Tsar Saltan, these folktales will carry you into a rich realm of imagination. I bring you my favorite stories from Russia, informed by my own knowledge of Russia and Eastern Europe. Before I ever dreamed of being a storyteller, I studied Russian and Bulgarian and even worked as a Slavic librarian.

These stories are for older kids and grownups, not for young children.
