러시아 이야기책.The Russian Story Book,by Richard Wilson and Frank C. Pape

PREFACE
I have gone right into the heart of “Holy Russia,” to Kiev and Novgorod and the borders of
the Caspian, in an endeavour to show by means of some of the early legends the ideals and
point of view of the Russian nation while it was in the process of being made. The stories of
the song-cycles of Kiev and Novgorod tell of a barbaric, though not a barbarian, world, full
of high colour and spirited action, of the knock-down blow followed quickly by the hand of

friendship freely extended to pick up the fallen foeman―if indeed he has had the hardihood
to survive.
The land of Vladimir and Ilya of Murom the Old Coss？ck is a Christian land, with the
Christianity of the Greek Church, and it is before all else an Easter land, where the Christian
Festival of the Resurrection means infinitely more than it can ever do in countries which are
not ice-bound for several winter months. The country is, moreover, an outpost of Christianity
towards the East―uninfluenced by Renaissance or Reformation―and must therefore have
developed interesting characteristics entirely different from those of Western lands. I think
that such characteristics are clearly shown in these stories, but I must leave those of my older
readers who are interested in this matter to find them out and to discover the Arthur,
Guinevere and Galahad of Russia; for my first concern is to tell a tale [vi]which will please
healthy-minded boys and girls in their early teens.
This book might have been written by a Russian who thoroughly understands our language,
or by an English author who has spent the best part of a lifetime in studying Russia and the
Russians, illustrated by a native artist, and decorated by a Russian designer. When such a
volume does appear, it will have a great interest for me. Meanwhile, I submit that there is
some artistic unity, also, in a volume of Russian stories, written by an Englishman, illustrated
by an English artist, and decorated by an English designer, the whole production being for an
English child.
One cannot delve far into these folk-lore records without becoming indebted to Miss I. F.
Hapgood’s English renderings from the collections of Kirsh？ Danil？v, P. B. Kir？eevsky, A. T.
Gillferding, Rybnikof, P. A. Bezs？nof and others, published in New York in 1885; to J.
Curtin’s literal translations from the Nar？dniya R？ssyika Shazki of A. N. Afan？sieva; to W. R.
S. Ralston’s books on Russian folk-song and fable; and to the writings of the Hon. Maurice
Baring and Mr. Stephen Graham. To all of these I desire to express my indebtedness for help
and guidance, though the responsibility for the telling and interpretation of the tales is
entirely my own. If this little collection makes the British child more sympathetic towards
Russia and helps it to understand the Russian people to a small degree its purpose will have
been achieved.
