In many fairy tales, Baba Yaga is stupid and gloomy because she’s evil. But in this book she’s cheerful and, even though she’s illiterate, she’s not just smart—she’s inventive. And her friends are everyone’s well-known: Koshchei the Immortal, Zmey Gorynych, the Nightingale the Robber, the Leshy, and the Waterman—brutal guys. Thanks to his immortality, Koshchei easily flies into space—he even has a direct line to the flight-control center. Once, on the way to Mars, he outwitted and, using his suspenders, destroyed an AI spy satellite. Gorynych’s clever head writes dissertations; the Nightingale whistles at a military training ground; Leshy and the Waterman play badminton and adore cartoons about Masha and the Bear… And together they saved the Moon from a giant toad, our Earth from colliding with the Moon, freed forests and rivers from human trash, and prevented a treacherous billionaire from trapping the Rayskyi Kushchy—Heavenly Groves—with his supermarkets…
In the audiobook, music by composer Alexander Levashov is used.
