Other Slavic Books:

(Click on any of the titles below to go to the book’s page)



In this section I have included books about other (non-UKrainian) forms of Slavic egg decoration.  Most of these are about Polish egg decoration, and many are in English.  I have done my best to translate the non-English titles when possible, but my non-Ukrainian Slavic language skills limited and Google Translate is not always helpful.  If you can fill in the gaps, please e-mail me at the link below.
