Synopsis

These marvelous stories were narrated by gypsies from Leningrad, Novgorod, Moscow, Tula, Smolensk, and Gorky regions, and from Karelia and Siberia. Their tales are passionate, colorful and distinctive, and have little in common with the folk tales of other nations. The gypsy folk song is little known, and the gypsy folk and fairy tale not known at all, making this a unique collection.
