Read this to my kids, and got into it. Started researching english language books on ancient slavic folklore, and came up mostly empty handed. Polite bump as it is.

The Tale of Igor's Campaign is the place to start with slavic mythology.

Stupid suggestion. It's like recommending Lord of the Rings as an introduction to Greek mythology.

I mean the main problem seems to be there's very few English translations that are easily available (re: on amazon)

Can't tell you much, I read the parallel literal translation in russian (original text is almost entirely unreadable for modern russian speakers)

its literally fucking a battle between christianity vs slavic mythology. for once id like an intro to slavic and or russian mythology without cultural contamination. acknowledging the scant original source material for slavic myth.

Both a great introduction to Russian folklore and an essential guide to analyzing folklore as a whole

Are there any collections of Baltic, Pomeranian, or East Prussian (ethnic) folklore?
