How April Went to Visit March, and Other Ukrainian Folk Tales Retold in English

Myroslav Shkandrij is head of the Department of German and Slavic
Studies at the University of Manitoba, and editor of The Cultural
Renaissance in Ukraine: Polemical Pamphlets, 1925-1926.

This collection of 17 Ukrainian stories includes both classic fairy
tales and Canadian variants of famous tales, recorded by pioneers and
passed on to later generations. Although many of the subtle plays on
words, the rhythmic repetitions, and the colorful details of the
originals have been lost in the translation into English, this
volume—the third in Danny Evanishen’s Ukrainian folklore
series—provides an authentic selection that will interest the general
reader. Short notes provide cultural background as well as information
on the sources of the stories.
