About This Book

A grandmother in a South Slavonian village tells a string of traditional wonder-tales to a little peasant boy, framing animal fables, magical transformations, and encounters with fairies, birds, and tricksters. The collection mixes humorous and poignant vignettes—feast-day and wedding episodes, hunts, and household scenes—where enchanted objects, tests of cunning, and sudden metamorphoses resolve tension or teach simple morals. Told in straightforward, fireside language, the tales weave Eastern and local folk motifs—roc-like birds, vila maidens, and a beloved basil-plant—into compact narratives that alternate whimsy with quiet human feeling.
