Old Peter's Russian Tales by Arthur Ransome, Fiction, Animals - Dragons, Unicorns & Mythical

The collection features traditional tales shared among Russian peasants, aimed at enchanting English children. Set against the backdrop of nature, these stories evoke the charm of wild roses and babbling brooks, creating a bridge between cultures. Ransome's intention is to connect the experiences of rural life in Russia with the whimsical adventures of children in the English countryside.
