This slim 1947 booklet gathers two of the best-known tales of the Russian folk repertoire, "The Geese-Swans" (Gusi-lebedi) - in which a girl rescues her small brother, abducted by Baba Yaga's geese-swans, with the help of a river, an apple tree, and a stove - and "The Cat, the Fox, and the Rooster" (Kot, lisa i petukh), a cumulative tale in which a fox repeatedly lures away a rooster until the cat's cunning finally outwits her. What distinguishes this edition bibliographically is its publisher: rather than one of the major state literary or children's presses (Detgiz, Gospolitizdat), the book was issued by the print shop of the Trust of Local Industry of Moscow's Moskvoretsky District, a minor district-level industrial enterprise that had itself been awarded a Third-Degree Diploma for print quality - an imprint circumstance that places the booklet among the more obscure margins of Soviet postwar children's publishing rather than its well-documented center, and likely accounts for its absence from major library catalogues and the secondary market alike. The illustrations are the work of three named Moscow graphic artists: Irina Anatolyevna Fateeva (b. 1908) and Galina Sergeevna Solovyova (1908-1984), both professional members of the Moscow Union of Artists who exhibited at the All-Union Art Exhibitions of 1949-1951 and were later the subjects of a joint retrospective catalogue (Moscow, 1975), together with L. S. Rabinovich. This copy retains, loosely laid in, the factory's original paper quality-control slip ("Controller No. 6B"), instructing the buyer to return any defective copy together with the tag - an ephemeral survival rarely found intact, and a small window onto the everyday mechanics of Soviet local-industry print production. Issued in a print run of 50,000 copies, the booklet is a modest but evidently scarce example of Moscow district-level publishing in the first postwar years.
