О книге

Excerpt from Byliny Book: Hero Tales of Russia

This is a Byliny Book. What docs "Byliny" mean? It is a Russian word, and it moans stories about What-has-Been, what happened in Russia in the old days long ago. We all read about tho Greek heroes Jason and Perseus and Theseus and Heracles. The Russians had splendid heroes too, who mot with wonderful adventures. Russia and France and Italy and England are fighting side by side a great fight for freedom, and these old heroes of Russia fought for freedom too, against great barbarian armies of Huns and Tartars. Tho Russians are our bravo friends, our "Allies," as we call them now, and it is good to get to know about their heroes of olden times.

We all know and honour our French Allies, and most of us try to speak French. We are proud to read in history how our William tho Conqueror came over from France and brought with him many good laws and customs, and, best of all, beautiful French words that have now become English - why, the very word beauty came to us from France. But Russia is much further away than Franco, and very few of us learn to speak Russian, or even to read it.
