"The Story of Pysanka. A Collection of Articles on Ukrainian Easter Eggs." What do Egyptian Kneph and Ptah, Māori Tangaroa and Finnish Ilmatar have in common? Why are cross, meander and swastika associated with some cultures' Easter egg? What is the difference between the two most popular types of Ukrainian Easter egg, pysanka and krashanka? What message could one pass with a pysanka? Can a pysanka protect your family and ward off evil powers? Answers to these and some other questions can be found in this book. "The Story of Pysanka" consists of articles written by Ukrainian ethnographers in the 19th century. This is their first translation into English. Contemporary pysanky expert, Pavlo Rybalko, wrote the foreword. An extensive bibliography, glossary and indexare included, as well as black and white illustrations. Who would have thought that Easter eggs could be a topic of one's Doctoral Dissertation? Well, indeed, it was, and not once. As they say, 'ab ovo' ☺. "The Story of Pysanka" is the first book in Sova Books' Ukrainian Scholar Library series. It will be followed by publications on Ukrainian Spells, Ukrainian Herbal Medicine, Ukrainian Mythology and others. About the Series: Sova Books' Ukrainian Scholar Library offers works written by Ukrainian intellectuals on various subjects. Let it be History, Folk Music and Lore, Literary Studies, Religion or Politics - these subjects and hopefully more with time will be covered by the series.

Whether you are a scholar or not, you may find the answers to what you are looking for in your quest of knowledge in these books.

Old Babushka, known throughout all of Moskva for her beautifully painted eggs, is preparing her eggs for the Easter Festival when she takes in an injured goose. She names the goose Rechenka, and they live happily together until one day when Rechenka accidentally overturns a basket, breaking all of Babushka's lovingly crafted eggs. But the next morning Babushka has a surprise awaiting her in the basket. She cries: "A miracle!" It is one of many in this charmingly told tale of friendship and caring. With vibrant illustrations, Patricia Polacco has joyously re-created the flavor of Old Moscow and its festivals. The eggs, stunningly colored and intricately designed, are authentic reproductions of eggs painted in the Ukrainian style. Rechenka's Eggs is a timeless story of classic beauty.

In The Witches of Kyiv and Other Gothic Tales by Orest Somov the supernatural is present throughout Ukraine, from a cemetery in Kyivan Rus, to an isolated forest cottage in the seventeenth century Kozak era, to the society ballrooms of Somov’s own world – the early nineteenth century. Gothic horror appears in many guises including witches, warlocks, demons and vengeful ‘rusalka’. Strange soothsayers and malevolent visitors represent the forces of good and evil. In her foreword Dr Svitlana Krys describes Somov “as an initiator of an indigenous literary tradition of the Gothic in the Ukrainian literary canon”. Native folk traditions, ghost stories and European Romanticism are twisted together in Somov’s imaginative tales, most of which are published here in English for the first time.
