Alexander Pushkin's fairy tale about Tsar Saltan is one of the most famous stories in Russian literature. The composer Rimsky-Korsakov set it to music. Pushkin wrote the tale of Tsar Saltan, his son, the famous Prince Gwidon Saltanovich, and the beautiful Princess Swan in verses in 1831, the poetry of which can be discovered in the text of this picture book. Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799-1837) is regarded as the national poet of Russia and the founder of modern Russian literature. What makes this picture book special are the masterful illustrations by Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin, a Russian painter, book illustrator, and theater artist. Bilibin's artistic talent is particularly evident in his illustrations for Russian fairy tales and legends, as well as in his work for theatrical performances.
