BOOK REVIEW “Ukrainian Folk Tales” by Marie Halun Bloch There has just come off the press of Coward-McCann, Inc., New York — 1964 — a book of the highest excellence, entitled “Ukrainian Folk Tales,” by the already well-known author, Ma rie Halun Bloch. The book is il lustrated by J. Hnizdovsky, whose works are in the Boston and the Cleveland Museums of Art. Both of these artists are Ukra i nian born. (See back page). The moment one looks at the book, even the cover, they be come a child again. The illustra tions and the Tales are equal in their charm, complimenting each other perfectly, in the nice ear of the reader, whoever he may be, a child indeed or a child grown tall, forgetting moment arily the cares of every day in the lives of the animals that live so vividly between the covers of the book. Cats, dogs, wolves, foxes, roosters, birds, bears that assume human attributes, not in the guise of fables, pointing a moral but rather for the sheer entertainment they give. H olding th re e stran d s of rib b o n is L ydia K olodchyn, O rg an izatio n al C h airm an of th e R egional C ouncil — flan k ed by m em b ers of C h ap ter 81 and p resid en ts of S ister C hapters. To the memory of her grand mother, Marie Pelenska Zayshla, who passed down to her Ukrain ian heritage and to American readers, with whom she gladly shares it, Mrs. Bloch has dedi cated her book. Mrs. Bloch’s book is not mere ly entertaining, it is a scholarly piece of work. She has translated from the “Original Collection of Ivan Rudchenko and Maria Luki- yanenko.” Eight stories are from the “monumental collection made by Rudchenko, Ukrainian ethnographer, and published in two volumes in 1869 and 1870 in Kiev, Ukraine. The remaining four are from the collection of Maria Lukiyanenko, Ukrainian historian and teacher and pub lished in 1947 in Germany. Each of these two writers gathered the tales from primary sources — “from the lips of the people.” For its beauty and its content it is a book to be prized in any library. On the cover of the book a gold label reads: “This identifies a book meeting the highest pro fessional standards as entertain ment reading for today’s young people.” J. W. P. Spring again and once more hopes In the sad hearth germinate Once more I am lulled by dreams, Visions of a happier fate. Lesya Ukrainka OUR NEW CHAPTER IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN November 1, 1964 was a big day for the newly organized Chapter 81.
