About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Cossack Fairy Tales by Robert Nisbet Bain. Read in English by Adam Wilkans; Kurt; deongines; Lynda Marie Neilson; Anthony Castellani; C. Morey; Devorah Allen; Kyle Donelan; jenno; Patrick Saville; Garth Burton This is a volume of fairy tales and folk tales from the Cossack people, compiled and translated by Robert Nisbet Bain. The tales are special as most children will not have heard them a hundred times before, and as they take listeners into a different region of the realm of the fairy tale. The Cossacks are a group of people living mostly in what is now Ukraine and Russia. The fairy and folk tales contained in this volume allow a glimpse into both the cultural traditions of the Cossack people, as well as into how this culture was perceived by others. - Summary by Carolin
