These fairy tales were born where time flows according to the laws of nature: at the old summer house in Islach and at the new one in Silichy. Writer Maria Vaitsashonak created not just fairy-tale plots, but a whole philosophical world built on deep respect for all living things.

Her characters are villagers, forest and garden dwellers who love, dream, seek their destiny and solve the eternal problems of good and evil. This book is an encounter with magical Belarus, where every creature has a story and its own soul.
