“Walk along the secret path and along the steep bank between the lashes and roots without stepping, and then the lake will open. The way it looks to you, so is your soul.” “Tales from the Bottom of the Lake” are original fairy tales filled with the spirit of Slavic folklore, so there is no clear division between good and evil. But there are thousand-year-old folk motifs, carefully combined with the author’s vision, modern life stories told in the language of fairy tales, and, of course, the idea of cyclical nature, which endlessly fades and is reborn. “Tales from the Bottom of the Lake” can be both simple entertainment and therapy. The collection contains eight stories, carefully collected under one cover, united by a common mood and images. Writer and storyteller Evgenia Spaschenko recommends the book to lovers of ancient wise tales and adult children who will never grow up.
