This book takes us to a remarkable, fantastic world inspired by Slavic myths and folk tales.

Katarzyna Jackowska-Enemuo combines forgotten motifs, storylines, characters and events, creating utterly new, fairytale and universal stories. Nika Jaworowska-Duchlińska illustrates them with vivid, symbolic pictures which are not just an addition to the book, but fully-fledged characters of the stories told. It’s a little work of art told in a universal, timeless language of words and images, that invites us to a constant retelling of the world. The protagonists of the short stories are characters linked to primaeval elements of earth, water, fire, sky and wind. Along with them, we experience adventures in an undefined, fantastic and fairytale reality, searching for answers to questions about the nature of the world and humankind. The music and lyrics included with the book let us sing along with the characters songs inspired by their life and adventures.
