It is no secret that Alexander Pushkin borrowed the plot of “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish” from the Brothers Grimm. Their tale was called “The Fisherman and His Wife” and its action took place in German Pomerania, on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Pushkin’s fairytale turned out to be very Russian,. In my interpretation of Pushkin’s fairytale, the sea is warm and blue, with cypresses and flowering bushes on its shore.
