Official synopsis Publisher
The heroic, poetic, powerful tales of Serbian folklore reflect the nature of ancient South Slavic peoples.
Stories of the Serbian people are both poetic and strident, reflecting their proud heritage as Southern Slavs, who, in the years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, swept South, taking over the lands of the once great Ancient Greeks, the Latins and the Thracians. Their folk tales echo the beautiful landscape and the intermingling with classic, heroic culture of the Byzantines. With a new introduction this powerful collection gathers together tales such as ‘He Who Asks Little Receives Much’, ‘The Maiden Wiser Than the Tsar, ‘The Biter Bit’, ‘Good Deeds Never Perish’ and ‘The Ram With the Golden Fleece’.
