RUSSIAN FAIRY TALES

From happy endings and underdog heroes to helpful talking animals and "Cinderella stories," contemporary popular culture testifies to the enduring influence of the fairy tale. Russian fairy tales occupy a prominent place in the world's fairy tale treasury. The importance of Russian fairy tales should never be underestimated. Many of them were written by such literary giant as Alexander Pushkin, while others - being folk tales with no definite "creation date" - have been told and retold from generation to generations both in Russia and all over the world.

The nesting doll before you has been handmade by a Russian artist that loves fairy tales and has pictured scenes from different ones on this gorgeous 5 piece matryoshka.
