About The Author:-
Albert Henry Wratislaw(5th November,1822 to 3rd November,1892) was an English clergyman and Slavonic scholar of Czech descent.

His last work was Sixty Folk-Tales from exclusively Slavonic sources (London, 1889), a selection translated from Karel Jaromír Erben's Sto prostonárodních pohádek a pověstí slovanských v nářečích původních("One Hundred Slavic Folk Tales and Legends in Original Dialects",1865),also known as Čitanka slovanská s vysvětlením slov ("a Slavic Reader with Vocabulary").It was given a mixed review by Alfred Nutt,who said the quality of the translations cannot be reproached with auspices given by Prof. Morfill,but the work did not rise above a "charming" anthology of tales due to its shortage of critical material.Wratislaw included creation myth stories from Carniola involving the supernatural being called Kurent;Wratislaw defended this as being genuine ancient tradition,which Nutt disputed.
