Alexander Sergeevich spent several years before presenting the readers of the adventures of the king Saltan and his sibling of Guidon. Writer, while Korotal months in the Mikhailovskaya link, painstakingly collected the material, recorded legends and legends, overheard from the commonhouse. The basis for the work was a folk tale "On the knee of a feet in gold, on the elbow of hands in silver," and some details of the poet borrowed from the magical stories of Nanny Arina Rodionovna. In 1832, the poetic work under the long name "Tale of Tsar Saltan, about his son's nice and mighty bogatyr Prince Gwidon Saltanovic and the wonderful princess swans" went into the seal.
A bright character of the poetic work became the princess swan - a character completely taken from folklore.

So, in no folk fairy tale with a similar plot, the motive of salvation of a wonderful maiden is not found, and the bird does not turn into a woman. The characteristic of the heroine is unusual and the characteristic of her magic abilities The author drank everyday wisdom.
