Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, Russian Fairy Tales, sentence 32

The selection, though naturally restricted, is fairly representative; every variety of folk-tale has a place in it, and it should never be forgotten that the Ruthenian _kazka_ (_Maerchen_), owing to favourable circumstances, has managed to preserve far more of the fresh spontaneity and naive simplicity of the primitive folk-tale than her more sophisticated sister, the Russian _skazka_.

Who acts: selection, variety · What happens: restrict, be, have, not forget, owe, manage · To what, where: selection, place, variety, favourable circumstances, more
