PAVEL BAZHOV created tales inimitable in style and beauty, which are included in the collection 'The Malachite Box.' Each story tells of an unexpected encounter with magical creatures. The Mistress of the Copper Mountain, Fire-Jumper, and Silver Hoof exist alongside ordinary people, but are revealed only to a select few. They bestow riches only on the brave, honest, and kind. Bazhov's works enchant with the unique atmosphere of fairy tales and introduce us to folk wisdom.
