Illustrations by Gennady Pavlishin add a unique and harmonious world to the stories of the Amur taiga. His decorative illustrations, woven from precise ethnographic details, breathe new life into the legends of the small peoples of the Priamurye region. Stories of brave hunters, instructive tales of hardworking beauties, and amusing narratives about the inhabitants of the taiga have been carefully recorded and processed by folklorists and lovers of antiquity for years. The Amur taiga hides many wonders within itself. The iron bird Korii flies over it, the creaky old lady hides in its cup, and the guardian of the hearth, Dyulen, watches over the people living among the forests. In difficult times, the mapa- bear, amba-tiger, or queen-fish kaluga come to the aid of the brave, and the cunning fox can easily drop by the nearest hut, like a neighbor. For children of primary school age.
