Masha and Natasha, Paperback

Polly Goldberg is a retired editor and proofreader living in upstate New York whose grandparents and great-grandparents emigrated from Russia in the 1890s. The story of Masha and Natasha has been told and cherished in her family since at least the 1840s; it is a favorite of her own grandchildren, who pushed her to share it.
