"The Gigantic Turnip" or "The Enormous Turnip" (Russian: Репка, Repka, Ukrainian: Ріпка, Ripka, IPA:[ˈrʲepkə], literally "small turnip"; ATU 2044, ‘Pulling up the turnip') is a cumulative Russian and Ukrainian fairy tale, collected in Arkhangelsk Governorate and published in 1863 by folklore researcher Alexander Afanasyev in his collection Russian Fairy Tales (tale number 89), a collection not strictly Russian, but which included stories from Ukraine and Belarus alongside Russian tales.[1][2][3] The tale is also considered a Ukrainian fairy tale,[3][4] well-known as adapted by Ivan Franko. [5][6]
The story has been rewritten and adapted numerous times in other languages, for example Polish by Julian Tuwim;[7] Bulgarian by Ran Bosilek,[8] and English by Jan Brett.[9]
