Herein are 33 Serbian superstitions and national customs, 12 legends of Prince Marko, a Serbian national hero, the epic poem of the hero knight Banovitch Strahinya, 3 epic Serbian ballads, the marriages of Maximus Tzrnoyevitch, Tsar Doushan The Mighty, King Voukashin,and of Stephan Yakshitch, each filled with drama and awe, plus 20 folk tales and 7 Serbian anecdotes.

Book excerpt: "[...] Serbia again Subjugated When Europe (and more particularly Russia) was engaged in the war against Napoleon, the Turks found in the pre-occupation of the Great Powers the opportunity to retrieve their losses and Serbia was again subjugated in 1813. George Petrovitch and other Serbian leaders left the country to seek aid, first in Austria, and later in Russia. In their absence, Milosh Obrenovitch, one of Karageorge Petrovitch's lieutenants, made a fresh attempt to liberate the Serbian people from the Turkish yoke, and in 1815 was successful in re-establishing the autonomy of the Belgrade pashalik. During the progress of his operations, George Petrovitch returned to Serbia and was cruelly assassinated by order of Milosh who then proclaimed himself hereditary prince and was approved as such by the Sublime Porte in October 1815. Milosh was a great opponent of Russian[...]".

This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein are 26 folk and fairy tales from the Central European nation of Serbia. IT is only within the last few years that folklore and fairy tales have been dramatised and turned into film for television and the silver screen. Here the popular legends, tales, drolls, and extravagances, which have been handed down from generation to generation among the labourers, peasants and youth of a nation, are being given a new breath of life, and a lot of them originate from Central Europe. Some of the tales in this volume are: The Wonderful Kiosk, The Snake’s Gift, The Golden Apple-Tree, And The Nine Peahens, Papalluga, Good Deeds Are Never Lost, Bird Girl, Sir Peppercorn, Bash-Chalek, The Trade That No One Knows, The Legend Of St. George - plus many more. Settled during the 6th and 7th C following the Slavic migrations, the Kingdom of Serbia was formerly recognised by Rome and the Byzantine Empire in 1217AD. Its capital, Belgrade, ranks among the oldest and largest cities in southeastern Europe. Serbia was annexed by the Ottoman Empire and later the Habsburg Empire. Following WWI Serbia helped co-found Yugoslavia with other South Slavic peoples, which existed in various political formations until the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Under the yolk of communism from the late 1940’s to 1989, many traditional and religious beliefs were suppressed in favour of the communist mantra – but here 26 have been uncovered for you and your children to enjoy. Over the centuries, it is clear that Serbian folklore has had a number of influences which are now indelibly woven into the fabric of the nation and there is no better place to taste the flavours of this rich mix than in the folklore of Serbia. 10% of the net from the sale of this book will be donated to Charities. ====================== KEYWORDS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, cultural, setting, Serbia, Servia, the bear’s son, wonderful kiosk, snake’s gift, language of animals, golden, apple-tree, nine peahens, papalluga, golden slipper, golden fleece, ram, ask little, get much, justice, injustice, satan, juggle, God’s might, wise girl, good deeds, never lost, lying, wager, wicked stepmother, bird girl, sir peppercorn, bash-chalek, true steel, shepherd, king’s daughter, princess, good turn, deserve, another, biter bit, trade, no one knows, three suitors, golden-haired, blonde, twins, dream, king’s son, prince, queen, palace, royal, three brothers, animals, friends, enemies, legend of St. George, dragon

Book excerpt: ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 154 ÿ In this 154th story in the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Serbian fairy tale about The Tale of Three Wonderful Beggars. Mark the Rich could not stand being around poor people. One evening three beggars knock on his door and ask for some food and shelter. He drives them off but his daughter convinces him to allow them to stay. But these are not ordinary beggars! They are overheard talking amongst themselves about the peasant Ivan who lives in the next village. His wife had just given birth to his seventh son. They say that they will make it so that the seventh son, named Vassily, will inherit all of Mark the Rich?s fortune. Mark finds out and things start to happen.??.

The place, town or city is relevant to the story. HINT - use Google maps. ÿ Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children's stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as "Father of Stories". ÿ It is believed that folklore and tales are believed to have originated in India and made their way overland along the Silk and Spice routes and through the Middle East and Central Asia before arriving in Europe. Even so, this does not cover all folklore from all four corners of the world. Indeed folklore, legends and myths from Africa, Australia, Polynesia, and some from Asia too, can be altogether quite different and seem to have originated on the whole from separate reservoirs of lore, legend and culture.
