INTRODUCTION
Gleam" appeared in the Retch; "She who wore a Crown" in the Russian Word; "Turandina" in the Voice of the Earth; "The Kiss of the Unborn" in the Morning of Russia; "The River Mairure" in Our Life; "The Crimson Ribbon" in the New Word—all daily newspapers of Russia. All the stories were written within the last ten years. Of these translations "Wings" and "The Sweet-scented Name" appeared in Country Life, and that journal retains the right to reproduce them in a volume of Russian fairy-tales and fables if it so desires.
