Do you know how Geralt of Rivia's parents met? What would the story of Alice in Wonderland look like if the Cheshire Cat had decided to tell it? And why do animals still go to Bremen? And how many meanings does the old French word la maladie have? And where the hell did the dwarf named Schuttenbach go at one very significant wedding?! Or maybe you yourself are no stranger to writing and not today tomorrow you will go with your heroes through the Vampire Fields, Rotten Swamps, Dusty Plains, Forests of Ringing Shinbones, Misty Depressions of Death, Mountains of Tears, Heights of the Gnashing of Teeth and the Gorges of Typhoid Fever - further and further and further, in search of the Gray Mountains, where gold is known... shh! Andrzej Sapkowski has always been a master of the short form. It is not for nothing that “The Witcher Saga,” beloved by millions of readers around the world and forever included in the canons of fantasy, began with precisely two collections of stories. And now before you is the third collection. For the first time - with illustrations by Denis Gordeev.
