Many of these illustrations present Tolstoy’s renditions of standard Aesopic fables. Others may be "adaptations." For example, "The Shipwreck" (#2), seems an adaptation of Aesop’s "Hercules and the Wagon Driver." Still others are stories I have not yet been able to pin down, like "Sea, Rivers, and Streams" (#3); "The Monkey and Other Animals" (#4); "Fisherman" (#9), and ""Ram, Cat, and Boy" (#14).
