The Practical Russian Fables series of books provides the Russian language student with a witty collection of short Modern Fables from a 20th century Russian writer in a dual language format which brings out the subtleties of the Russian language. These fables will enable students to expand their understanding of how the Russian language can be used to express double meanings. The fables have been chosen and newly translated and edited by Tamara Moreton, author of the Practical Russian Readers vol.1 & vol.2, and novelist Alan Moreton, author of The Book Traveller and At The World's End among other English novels. Each story has been supplied with its own vocabulary list to enable the student to link the translation to the Russian word to enhance understanding of how the Russian word has been used in the translation.
