Tales of gypsies. Kun N.A.

This book includes the beliefs and fairy tales of the gypsies collected by Nikolai Albertovich Kun (1877 - 1940) - writer, historian and teacher, author of the books “Legends and myths of ancient Greece”, “Tales of the peoples of Africa”.

Immerse yourself in a unique gypsy folklore, where beautiful Kshalia - the daughters of the king of fogs sit on the tops of the GOR - and captivate passing travelers with their gaze. Golden -haired Urmas live there - magic fairies, in the afternoon they dance and frolic in their palaces, and at night go down from the mountains to determine the fate of newborn. At the bottom of deep rivers, evil nivashi lurked-water with fiery red hair, a long beard and horse hooves. There is no greater joy for Nivash than to grab a person, to take out the soul and plant in a pot.
