8 best storytellers world We all come from childhood and at one time listened to and read fairy tales. This is a very important element when raising a child. Fairy tales can shape little man first ideas about the world, about good and evil, and other truths. In addition to folk art, when fairy tales were preserved from generation to generation by word of mouth, many fairy tales came out of the pen outstanding writers of this genre. It is these people that we will talk about today. Hans Christian Andersen. The Danish writer is known primarily as a creator of fairy tales, but he also tried himself in other literary genres. Andersen became the first educator and educator through his fictional stories for many people and generations. Since childhood, he loved to daydream and daydream, write poetry and watch puppet theater performances. Although young Hans began with drama, he celebrated his 30th anniversary with the publication of his first collection of fairy tales. All these Thumbelinas, mermaids, snow queens and princesses and peas - they are all the fruits of Andersen’s imagination and fiction. 
Charles Perrault. The storyteller, to some extent, complements the father and mother for the child, becoming someone else who is present in the parental home in the form of book stories. For French children, starting from the seventeenth century, Charles Perrault became such a teacher. He wrote serious scientific works, but at the same time he also wrote fairy tales. He was drawn to create some incredible stories. It’s not for nothing that they say that there is a child inside every adult. A collection of his fantasies entitled “Tales of Mother Goose” made Perrault famous far beyond the borders of the French kingdom. He created his own parade fairy-tale heroes, which are familiar to all of us: this is a cat, which for some reason does not want to walk with its paws, as happens with its relatives; and a beauty who can’t wake up without the prince’s kiss; and Cinderella – an exploited oppressed class; and a boy who was only as big as a finger; here is an inquisitive girl wearing a red cap, and Beard, who for some unknown reason has turned blue. 
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. Yes, he also wrote fairy tales during the break between duels, distracting himself from the story of the sad fate of Onegin and Tatyana. True, these tales are written in the form of poetry. Not everyone can write poems. Pushkin is a very multifaceted personality. He told the world about Tsar Saltan, talked about the relationship between a fisherman and a fish, seven heroes and dead princess.
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm or simply the Brothers Grimm. These two brother storytellers were inseparable until their deaths. Although they wrote fairy tales, they wrote quite serious stories. From them we learned about street musicians from the city of Bremen, about seven kids who fought against a wolf, and about two children - Hansel and Gretel, who coped with the machinations of the insidious woman Yaga, who wanted to cook them. The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm can be called a kind of children's crime stories. 
Rudyard Kipling. He became the youngest writer to receive the Nobel Prize. Kipling wrote The Jungle Book with its main character, Mowgli, who was raised by a black panther named Bagheera. There were also stories about a certain cat that walks by itself, the author wondered where a camel got a hump and a leopard got spots. Kipling himself traveled a lot, which gave him the basis for many extraordinary stories. 
Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Who hasn't he tried himself in? literary world, wrote in various genres, acted as a war correspondent, and even became an academician. He adapted the tale of Pinocchio for the Russian reader. In 1935, a story was published about a long-nosed log, who later became a boy named Pinocchio. This became the pinnacle of Alexei Tolstoy’s fabulous talent, although he wrote, in addition to this, many other fictional stories. 
Alan Milne. This author wrote a biography of the most famous bear in the world - Winnie the Pooh and his friends. In addition, Milne created a fairy tale about the rabbit prince and the princess, which was so difficult to make laugh. 
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann. He possessed many talents; he was a composer, an artist, and a writer. Fairy tales are one of his creative manifestations. Hoffmann wanted to leave a good memory of himself, something that would be imprinted on him for many generations after his death. His “Nutcracker” became the basis for opera and ballet productions, as well as Disney and Soviet cartoons.
The review includes collections from different price categories with the largest number fairy tales with classical translations. All books have high ratings and positive reviews from readers both about the translations of fairy tale texts and about the illustrations in these collections.

3) Fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Retold by A. Vvedensky
The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm as retold by the Russian poet A. Vvedensky have never been published together. In 1936, the DETGIZ publishing house published a book with 18 fairy tales; this publication has long become a rarity.
This edition contains all 48 fairy tales that were retold and reinterpreted by an outstanding Russian writer for our children.
The reader will not only get acquainted with the famous fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, but also find out what a fairy tale is, when it appeared and how it has changed. Finds out about the lives of the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm and about their difficult work on fairy tales. The book also tells about Alexander Ivanovich Vvedensky, a poet and writer, who retold these fairy tales from German and processed them for the Russian reader. And the editor of the fairy tales was Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak himself!
Be careful when opening a book to a random page! The fairy tales inside are arranged in such a way that the book “grows up”: first there are fairy tales for kids, then for older children, and at the end of the collection there are horror tales for the adults.

Charles Perrault
If the child is impressionable and fairy tales with bloody scenes like the Brothers Grimm in Petnikov’s translation frighten him, then it is better to choose Perrault in the retellings of Gabbe and Bulatov.
1) Cinderella. The Complete Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault
This is a truly gorgeous gift edition, on excellent paper with good illustrations. Collected illustrations from various publications, both modern and “pre-revolutionary” (at least the beginning of the last century), in different styles and not only Russian
In general, the book is for fairly old children (when they become interested in horror films or at least they are ready to take a “philosophical” approach to them). It seems that the book contains original texts by Charles Perrault, with which most of us are little familiar (for example, you know that Cinderella’s sisters chopped off parts of their feet with an ax in order to wear glass slipper? and are your children ready for such a plot twist?)
So far I’ve only met Sleeping Beauty and was very surprised to learn that nothing ends with the Prince’s kiss (it didn’t actually happen). The second part of the tale metaphorically describes the “beautiful” relationship between the cannibal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The fairy tale made me scour the Internet for variations in plots. Makes an impression.
But children of a certain age, 7-9 years old, when there is an interest in all kinds of scary stories, should like it.

Turgenev's retelling is wonderful, but not for the smallest children: the wolf simply eats Little Red Riding Hood. We see the fairy tales in this retelling as somewhat creepy, just as they are in the original.
The publication includes 9 fairy tales: Little Red Riding Hood, Little Thumb, Sleeping Beauty, Dirty, Puss in Boots, Khokhlik, Donkey Skin, The Sorceress, Bluebeard.

Guardians of Russian antiquity, bearers historical memory The people were Russian storytellers (performers of epics) and storytellers. They conveyed originality to the listeners folk poetry, were the soul, the source of bright, cheerful moods of the person listening to them. Each of them had his own performing style. Each of them had their own individual characteristics. Among the storytellers there are richly gifted poetic natures with enormous creative imagination. Some folk storytellers were prone to fantastic images, others to everyday images, and still others to jokes and buffoonery. We present brief information about individual performers of oral folk art.
Krivopolenova Marya Dmitrievna(1843-1924) - known as a performer of epics and fairy tales. Folklorists note “her hot temperament,” childlike gaiety, “wit, passion for everything she is currently dreaming about, amazing command of language.” A.D. met her for the first time in 1900. Grigoriev, wrote down 13 epics and 5 spiritual poems from her, and a year later another epic. However, the texts recorded from her in the scholarly collection did not change her beggarly fate, but in 1915 she was “discovered” by O.E. Ozarovskaya 1, brings her to Moscow, to Petrograd... Numerous performances begin, which are a great success, now she is expected in her homeland as a celebrity. Artists and sculptors meet with the storyteller. S.T. Konenkov creates the sculpture “Prophetic Old Woman”. Later, trips followed from Ozarovskaya to Ukraine and the Caucasus. Many recruit songs and fairy tales were recorded from Marya Dmitrievna. The famous folklorist B.M. Sokolov recalled her performance: “She sings a “fable”... and so imperiously orders everyone to pull up that the crowd of a thousand, forgetting their age and position, at that moment is full of one desire: to please the old woman from the forest. The charm of her personality, firm, bright and joyful, forged by the marvelous north, is reflected in her performance, and the cry of the crowd, the same in all cities, is clear: “Thank you, grandmother!” So understandable is the desire of thousands of people to shake an old, wrinkled hand, which has been sadly stretched out for alms all their lives, to shake it with a feeling of love and respect for their grandmother, as for the image of our people.”
Vinokurova Natalya Osipovna(1860-1930) - first met and recorded her fairy tales M.K. Azadovsky, who subsequently thoroughly studied creative manner Siberian storyteller (image of the Verkhnelensky region, rafting, carts, hunting, hiring scenes, etc.). Her tales are consistent, complete, and do not contain unnecessary details. She brings to the fore the characters’ experiences, which determine their actions. The episodes are designed truthfully and convincingly. The psychologism of fairy tales is also characteristic, manifested in fast-paced, intense dialogues, which are accompanied by a description of the characters’ gestures and facial expressions; songs and landscape play a significant role in fairy tales. All fairy tales show gentleness, gentleness, and delicacy. Her tales are known here and abroad.
Sorokovnikov Egor Ivanovich(Magai) (1868-1948). Tales of E.I. Sorokovnikov was recorded, studied by many folklorists, and “Tales of Magai” with an article by Azadovsky were repeatedly published. His tales are permeated with features of Siberian life. In them, a lot of space is given to pictures of nature: harsh taiga, majestic snowy loaches, enchanting snowy valleys, in a word, everything that his homeland - the Tunkinskaya Valley - is so generous and rich in. And in the appearance of the main characters of Sorokovnikov’s fairy tales, the outlines of his fellow countrymen clearly appear. Sorokovnikov's ancestors are Buryats, hence the family name Magai, added to his Russian surname. Yegor Ivanovich's father was a famous hunter and storyteller, an expert on Russian and Buryat fairy tales. It is no coincidence that Sorokovnikov began telling fairy tales from childhood: at work, at the mill, at home and with neighbors. In fairy tales, he usually preserved fairy-tale ritual: his works are richly decorated with beginnings, endings, transitional formulas, such as: “soon the fairy tale is told, but not soon the deed is done,” they contain many fairy-tale details and everyday details.
Abram Novopoltsev(1820-1885). In the 1870s, D.N. Sadovnikov recorded 72 fairy tales. They formed the main content of D.N.’s collection. Sadovnikov "Tales and legends of the Samara region." Abram Novopoltsev, according to the memoirs of his contemporaries, was a tall old man with broad shoulders. He was a shepherd, lived poorly, had four sons, loved to drink, joke around and “tell tales.” He masterfully told fairy tales, witty everyday stories, children's tales about animals, and historical legends, and funny jokes. Fairy tales (25 texts) predominated in Novopoltsev’s repertoire. The storyteller perfectly mastered all the techniques of a classic fairy tale, using commonplaces, repetitions, fairy-tale formulas, and constant epithets. No matter what Novopoltsev told, he always tried to amuse and make his audience laugh. What he has in common with buffoons is a penchant for satire, irony, and a wide knowledge of various folklore genres. The storyteller repeatedly introduced songs, numerous proverbs and jokes into fairy tales. Significant place His repertoire included satirical anti-pop and anti-lord tales. Novopoltsev's mastery lies in the richness of the vocabulary of his language, and the emphasized vernacular increases the dynamism of the narrative and gives his tales an unusually intense pace.
Gospodarev Philipp Pavlovich(1865-1938) - originally from the Mogilev province, where in the poor village of Zababie he spent his childhood and teenage years. As a child, I loved listening to the men who gathered in the evening on the rubble of Grandfather Shevtsov’s house, their wonderful fairy tales, especially the “story books” that he told. “For the first time,” he recalled, “I heard “Soldier’s Sons” from Shevtsov on a holiday, on logs. The sun did not set - he began to talk, and it became dark - the old man did not finish speaking. The next day in the morning I deliberately came to him: “Grandfather, tell me the story!” And grandfather finished the story.”
Due to the poverty of his parents, the boy could not attend school. Songs and fairy tales were the only light in a dark, hungry and painful life. At the age of fifteen, Philip went into public life, later worked for a merchant, took part in the uprising, and was imprisoned (in 1903). Since 1917, he has worked at a plant in Petrozavodsk as a blacksmith, driver, welder, stamper, and watchman. To the question of folklorist N.V. Novikov in 1937, asking how many fairy tales he knows, answered: “I know so much that you can’t carry it in a bag. And if you write down three fairy tales per evening, you’ll sit for a month, or even more.” 106 fairy tales were recorded from Gospodarev.
He successfully performed his fairy tales in Leningrad. All the tales of his repertoire by F.P. Gospodarev divided them into four groups: fairy tales “where everything is done by magic”, fairy tales “where everything is done with the head”, fairy tales “with animals”, fairy tales “tricky”. The first place in his repertoire is occupied by unusually long fairy tales, in which he combines several plots. In these tales, he zealously observes traditional fairy tale beginnings, endings, formulas, triple repetitions, constant epithets, etc.
Korguev Matvey Mikhailovich(1883-1943) was born into the family of a poor Pomor in the village of Keret, Arkhangelsk province, was orphaned early, wandered around the world, and at the age of nine began working: he was a shepherd, sawed wood, served as a cook on a local merchant’s ship, then became a fisherman.
In 1936, he met with folklore collector A.N. Nechaev. Korguev’s gift of speech came by inheritance: his mother and her brother knew many fairy tales and sang Karelian runes (songs). 115 texts were recorded from Korguev; in 1939, a two-volume book of his fairy tales was published, which included 78 fairy tales. He tells tales of all kinds, even anecdotes; he was especially good at fairy tales and magically heroic ones. While telling the story, Korguev skillfully conveyed the characters’ experiences with his voice, gestures, and facial expressions. His tales are distinguished by an abundance of details, convincingness, descriptions of the working and living conditions of Pomors, and depictions of sea storms.
Kovalev Ivan Fedorovich(1885-1966) - lived almost his entire life in the village of Shadrina, Gorky Region, not far from Lake Svetloyar, into which, according to legend, the city of Kitezh sank. As a child, he listened to the tales of his grandmother and mother - wonderful storytellers. There were no girls in the family, and the boy had to spin with his mother - for fairy tales he spun extra bundles of flax. Trading simple goods, he went to many places and listened and told stories everywhere. During the imperialist war, in captivity in Germany, I listened to German fairy tales and told Russian ones. In his village he entertained collective farmers with fairy tales during lunch breaks and young people in the reading hut.
In 1931, he met folklorists, began to come to Moscow to record, and was accepted into the Writers' Union. His largest collection was published in Moscow in 1941. Kovalev draws detailed portraits of his heroes and the landscape. Love is a favorite theme of his fairy tales. His tales contain an abundance of epithets and fairy-tale formulas; the characters are characterized by caring for the poor and disadvantaged.
Skazkin Mikhail Ananyevich(1883-1967) - lived in the Gorky region in the village of Klimovo, born in the village of Temta in the family of a farm laborer Anania Lebedev. As a ten-year-old boy, he went to work in a mill. In my free time from work I listened to fairy tales. The miller cruelly ridiculed the boy's passion for fairy tales. One day a boy invited the miller to listen to a fairy tale and received the answer: “Look, how you are attracted to fairy tales; What kind of person are you after this Lebedev? You are a fairy tale - be a fairy tale.” Subsequently, this nickname took root for Mikhail Ananyevich and replaced his previous surname.
As a child, he not only listened to the tales of his fellow villagers, but also read them avidly. His repertoire includes magical, adventurous, everyday, satirical, and fairy tales about animals.
Baryshnikova-Kuprianikha Anna Kupriyanovna(1868-1954) - Voronezh storyteller, occupying one of the first places among Russian storytellers. She lived almost her entire life in the village of Vereika, Zemlyansky district. Voronezh region. As a child, she tended cattle, got married early and, having become a widow, was left with four children. I had to work backbreakingly and even beg. Her tales have been recorded since 1925. Kuprianikha also visited Moscow, where she performed her fairy tales. Was accepted into the Writers' Union. Her tales use beginnings, endings, repetitions, details, satirical characteristics, sometimes there is a rhythm, a rhyme. Every time she creates a fairy tale.

Her grandfather, orphaned at the age of six, became the guide of a blind singer, from whom he learned many songs and poems. Grandmother was famous as a storyteller and an outstanding singer. From the age of nine, Anyuta became a social worker - she nursed and rocked her daughter-in-law’s children, then she became a servant, rocked other people’s children, and recalled nursery rhymes and stories that she heard from her grandmother and mother. I remembered many fairy tales from the beekeeper Stepan Ivanovich Rastrygin, who lived to be 116 years old. At the age of twenty she was married off as the “tenth daughter-in-law” in big family. Life was difficult, her husband worked as a groom, Anna Nikolaevna worked as a cook for a merchant.
