This complete two-volume set presents a revised Ukrainian translation of Wilhelm Hauff's fairy tales, specifically designed to introduce classic German folklore to Ukrainian-speaking children in émigré communities. The edition has been carefully updated from the original 1919 publication, with revisions that make the text more accessible due to changes in language and dialect over time. The enchanting tales are brought to life with beautiful illustrations, enhancing the appeal of the book for both young readers and collectors alike.
