Skazki [Fairy tales]

Bayreuth: Printed by Lorenz Ellwanger, 1946. Original illustrated wrappers. Item #352

Dimensions: 21 × 15 cm. 72 pages: illustrations. Text in Russian. With the introduction by B. N. Plaksin. With the printed censorship note, "Approved by U.N.R.R.A. Team 186." A nice copy with minor spotting on the front wrapper; internally very good.

This book was published by the Russian refugees and printed in a very small run to be distributed in post-war Germany's Displaced Persons (DP) camps. Due to difficult circumstances in those camps, including a lack of resources and military censorship, such publications are a testament to the resilience and determination of the displaced persons community during this challenging time in history.
