"The pages of this book reveal the legend of
poterchata and
mavky, mermaids and devils, ghouls and
chuhaistry, vampires and witches, goblins and sprites – demonological creatures of the world of our ancestors. Ukrainians placed the strange creatures in the house and barn, in the courtyard, in the field, and in the forest. In this way, our ancestors formed their idea of the Universe and determined the human place in it. You will immerse yourself into the rich and interesting world of the Ukrainian mythology full of stories and legends!
The publication is mostly based on ethnographic materials of the author from Polissya, Volyn, Boikivschyna, Hutsulschina, and Pokuttya."
