{"product_id":"slavonic-fairy-tales","title":"Slavonic Fairy Tales","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoland, Russia, Bohemia, And Servia Have Contributed Stories To This Little Collection. It May Be Said That The Bohemian Tales, Perhaps Through The Genius Of The Poets Who Have Preserved Them, Have, In Their Original Form, More Art, More Grace, More Completeness Of Outline, Than The Others. Those From Poland Reflect The Passive Virtues And Genial Warmth Of The Peasants Whose Lives They Illustrate. A Greater Simplicity, Amounting Even To Childishness, Will Be Found To Characterise The Russian Stories. Those From Servia Are In Some Features Unique, And May Be Found The Most Interesting Of The Series. The Exalted Imagination Of The Servian Race Is Allied With Keen And Homely Sense, And Their Vigorous And Beautiful Romances Called Forth The Admiration Of Goethe. It Is Hoped That These Varied Characteristics May Not Wholly Have Evaporated In Translation.
