Maria Chumarna. Trydevjate tsarstvo. Symbolism of the Folk Fairytale. (The Fairy Kingdom)

"The book "The Fairy Kingdom" invites adults and children into the wonderful and wise world of the Ukrainian folk fairytale. Texts of 53 fairytales are thematically grouped into 19 blocks ("Magic Transformations", "Children Given by God", etc.), each of them beginning with a comment on the symbolism and the imagery basis that unites them.

A thoughtful reader will see in a fairytale, as in a mirror, reflection of his/her own secret world. Grandparents will understand how to socialize with grandchildren through the magic language of ancestors, grandchildren will simply travel in unexplored worlds and will want to create their own fairytale. And for teachers, educators, parents this book will become the golden key to secrets of the native word, customs culture of ancestors, secrets of folk pedagogy."
