Strong, mighty Russian bogatyrs! Volga, Svyatogor, Mikula, Alyosha Popovich, Dobrynya, Ilya Muromets. They differ in appearance, character, and origin, yet all are beloved by the people. There is nowhere they do not perform their heroic deeds: in dense forests, on vast steppes, in mountains, underground, and at sea.
Renowned folklorist Irina Karnaukhova has brilliantly retold these byliny for children—both the widely popular and the lesser-known ones.
And the talented artist Nikolai Kochergin has created equally vivid, memorable images of these Russian heroes. Their book was first published in 1949.
