Stepan Grigorievich Pisakhov’s fairy tales are rightly considered part of the golden fund of Russian art and are among the outstanding works of domestic literature.
No one, as finely as Pisakhov, managed to portray the grandeur and beauty of the northern nature, the complex way of life of Pomors, the living folk speech, and the poetic character of the North.
His spirited, bright, and at the same time instructive tales are deeply rooted in the folklore of the Russian North, while remaining vividly original—with subtle lyricism and kind, gentle humor.
