Abstract
The purpose of the study is to provide an insight into artistic originality of the British and Russian animalistic fairy-tales. Specificities of this type of fairy-tales are reflected in composition techniques, original plots and images, use of particular linguistic means. Scientific novelty of the research lies in conducting a comparative analysis of the animalistic fairy-tale genre within two folklore traditions. It has been found that composition of the British and Russian animalistic fairy-tales is based on repetition, which helps to convey the main idea of a folklore work. Plots of the British fairy-tales deal with various moral aspects of life, reflect nationally accepted notions of moral and ethical standards and principles. The Russian animalistic fairy-tales, apart from addressing didactic problems, highlight social issues, especially those related to unfair legal proceedings.
