Summary:

1873. One touch of storytelling may . . . make the whole world kin. So stated Ralston. In England the works of Ralston were the first to deal with the vast field of Slavonic, and more especially of Russian, folklore. His chief endeavor was to show the great amount of information which the unwritten literature of Russia contains as to the early stages of religious development.
