Narodnyi Russkii Pesni dlia Molodezhi sobral A. N. Shch.

£2,250 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

A very scarce collection of 129 folk songs specifically for young people. The collection reflects the language spoken in Western Galicia and the songs are very much Ukrainian in their focus. The owner has crossed out the extra 's' in the title to affirm that it is Rusyn as opposed to Russian. Rare: not found in WorldCat. First edition, 16mo (14.9 x 11.3 cm); flyleaves and title with ink inscriptions, ownership inscription rubbed out on the title resulting in a short close tear; modern black half calf and maroon cloth, spine in parts with label to second part, gilt ruled, 203pp., a very good copy.
