In Siberia, there are many tales and tales about bygone times, when our ancestors just began to populate this harsh, but rich in minerals, fur and timber region. Our ancestors were surrounded by an unknown world full of mysteries. It was then that Honey Beard, Poceda, Golden Woman, Moryana appeared in bedtime stories (or maybe they really existed) ... and next to them were ordinary people who were not afraid of trials. The book is about them. All the tales included in it were heard by the author-compiler from her grandmother Elena Vladimirovna Zhdanova, who was born in 1906 in Siberia and lived her life there.
