The Scarlet Flower
''The Scarlet Flower'' ((ロシア語:Аленький цветочек), ''Alenkiy tsvetochek''), also known as ''The Little Scarlet Flower'' or ''The Little Red Flower'', is a Russian folk tale written by Sergey Aksakov. It is an adaptation of traditional fairy tale ''Beauty and the Beast''.
In Russia ''Beauty and the Beast'' story is known mostly via Aksakov's retelling.

In a letter to his son of November 23, 1856 Aksakov wrote: "I am writing a story which in my childhood I knew by heart".〔 Aksakov had been told that story as a child. He recalled that he was ill and suffered from insomnia. Then a housekeeper named Pelagia, who was well known for telling great fairy tales, sat by the stove and began to tell him the story of ''Scarlet Flower''. Aksakov added that he did not feel sleepy at all, on the contrary, couldn't fall asleep until the very end. This account, however, seems to be a mystification, since the story is not known within actual Russian folklore. Aksakov's motive is understandable: being a Slavophile, he would not admit adopting a French source.
''The Scarlet Flower'' was first published in 1858. It was printed as an appendix in Aksakov's ''Childhood Years of Grandson Bagrov'' (''Detskie gody Bagrova-vnuka'') "not to interrupt the story of childhood".
