Ukrajins‘ki charivni kazky vid titky Orys‘ky ta dida Pan‘ka. (mp3). (Ukrainian Fairy-Tales by Aunt Oryska and Old Panko)

Last time, Aunt Oryska and Old Panko told us Ukrainian folk tales. It was good - but for continuation, quite logically, another idea was needed. Thus, now to your attention – literary fairy-tales. Though, not really sheer author’s fairy-tales – rather, literary adaptations of plots taken from Ukrainian folklore. A meeting with the most interesting, enigmatic part of fairy-tales is in store for you – with magic fairy-tales. And this means – there will be there devils and angels, there will be evil and good magic, there will be ideas and characters that have come to us from as long ago as pagan times. Here, by the way, it is necessary to mention that Ukrainian folklore still preserves a lot of characters that have already been sort of driven out from folklores of neighboring peoples. However, some of these fairy-tales have a lot in common with well-known European fairy-tale plots – but plots of later periods, in which queens and princes live. Well, and the majority of fairy-tales – have expressive Ukrainian features. To say nothing about that the Ukrainian language perfectly befits for narrating fairy-tales – melodious, soft, easy, with its very sounding it is able to set one for a certain mood. The more so – when the narrators have such pleasant voices as here.
