Folktales should all read this way. A little gritty, warm and living, the colors slightly too bright at times. It should be made of wood and not plastic, be warm and once alive, inviting to the touch. Tales should have grown over time, casting roots into the hearts and leaves from the mouths of the people that told them. Also, they should involve some really spectacular mustaches.
Viy does every one of these things.
