The folk tale about the Little Humpbacked
Horse is well-known and has a few variations, but each
one has the same storyline. The best known version was
written in the first half of the 19th century by poet Yershov,
who adopted this Siberian folk tale and transformed it
into a charming poem. The poem became very popular and
had been published seven times during Yershov's life. Nowadays
it still remains one of the most beloved fairy tales. It
tells us about an unusual friendship between Ivan, the
youngest son of a farmer, and a fantastic creature -- a
Little Humpbacked Hourse with long ears and enourmous stregth.
Being a wonderful friend the Little Humpbacked Horse helps
Ivan with all his problems. Ivan wanted to get just a feather
of a Firebird that would bring him good luck. Instead he
got the Firebird itself and a beautiful bride. |
