The first unabridged legal publication in Russia. With pictures.

fig. Vitaly Statsinsky - chief artist of the children's magazine "Funny Pictures

A unique case in domestic book publishing: “Fairy Tales” was published in a circulation of 30,000 numbered copies. The numbering was done manually with two seals: one with an oval and the word “copy”, and the other with the numberer itself.

Reprint of the legendary book, which became a bibliographic rarity back in the 19th century. “Russian Treasured Tales” are known for their erotic content; they contain profanity and sharply satirical texts of an anti-lord and anti-priest orientation.

From the preface to the 1975 reprint edition: “Exceptionally rare already in the last century, Afanasyev’s book has become almost a phantom these days. Judging by the works of Soviet folklorists, only two or three copies of “Treasured Tales” have been preserved in special departments of the largest libraries in Leningrad and Moscow. (...) The only copy of fairy tales that belonged to the Paris National Library disappeared before the First World War. The book is not listed in the catalogs of the British Museum library.”

Publishers call Afanasyev’s “Fairy Tales” a book that “stumbled over the obstacles of not only tsarist, but also Soviet censorship.”
