The book "Forest Tale" is a revised version of the fairy tale-parable "Dreams of Repentance". Children from a small northern town go on a pilgrimage to a monastery. Some by their own free will, and some at the insistence of their parents. It is difficult to immediately accept the monastic order, but it is even more difficult to understand the meaning of the Orthodox Faith, and especially the meaning of confession. How to learn to determine for yourself what is good and what is evil? How to get rid of bad habits and inclinations? Children, with the blessing of the rector's father, go into the forest to pick mushrooms and berries. In the evening, one of the heroines named Katya disappears. Everyone, in fright, begins to pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, asking him to help in the search. The Great Saint immediately responds and appears at the fire together with the missing girl. You can find out what happens next by reading the book to the end. It will be useful not only for children, but also for adults!
