Orsinian Tales

Orsinian Tales is a collection of short stories by Ursula K. Le Guin. The setting is a fictional Eastern European country at times from the Middle Ages to the 1960s. In view of clues in the text, an affinity of place names and a number of particular tales, it is likely that Hungary was a large part of the inspiration for Orsinia. This is particularly clear in the stories of the working-class characters.

Le Guin's novel Malafrena is also set in Orsinia.
