Here you will find tales with characters who are literally known for their hair. Tales like THE HAIRY MAN, the perennial RAPUNZEL and the less well known ZLATOVLASKA THE GOLDEN-HAIRED. Then you will find tales where a figurative interpretation of hairy has been applied i.e. where something more hair-raising occurs; not usually befitting a typical Western fairy tale. Tales like THE STORY OF SIGURD where Sigurds dies after being cursed by the dwarf Andvari. THE DEATH OF KOSHCHEI THE DEATHLESS where Prince Ivan has to defend the honour of Princess Marya Morevna from the dreaded Koschei - with a predictable outcome.
