• Notes:

  • Stated 2nd printing: "Second printing 1978", hence in the same year as the first printing; no month known for this printing.
  • Edited by Jacqueline Onassis.
  • Translation of Zhar-ptīt︠s︡a, Vasilisa prekrasni︠a︡, Marii︠a︡ Morevna, and Snegurochka. Originally translated by Zvorykin into French with title L'Oiseau de feu et d'autres contes populaires russes, as a single handpainted presentation volume in calligraphy. The translators of these stories into English are uncredited. They "are based on existing English translations that have been modified to preserve the flavor of Zvorykin's versions". The impression is that Onassis is the one who "modified existing translations" to produce the text of this book.
