Ukranian Folktales

I was talking to a friend the other day about a big book of Ukranian folktales I used to enjoy reading as a child. Wouldn't you know it - most of the stories are available on the internet! Including the same pictures that were in my book!

Here's a link to one of my favourites - I even remembered the name of it from my childhood. It's called Telesik Little-stick.

I remember many of the stories featuring snakes and dragons. In this story snake and dragon are used interchangeably! Strange!
