Inhaltsangabe

Twenty-four legends of myth, magic, and heroism — the complete collection in one volume.

Long before Ukraine was a country in the headlines, it was a land of legends: forest spirits and fire-eyed monsters, Cossack heroes and god-given swords, mountains born from giants and a capital city founded by four siblings. Legends of Ukraine brings all 24 tales together in a single illustrated treasury — a complete journey through the folklore of Eastern Europe.

What you'll discover inside:

• The Mavkas, ethereal guardians of the Carpathian forests.
• Ilya Muromets, the bedridden boy who rose to become a giant hero — and the three-headed dragon he faced.
• The Lion of Lviv, a stone statue that came alive to save its city.
• The birth of the Carpathian Mountains, the lost golden city, and Bear Mountain rising from the sea.
• The founding of Kyiv by Kiy, Shchek, Khoriv, and their sister Lybed.
• Origin myths of the stars, the Moon, and the salt of the sea — and wise parables of fate, kindness, and true happiness.

Spanning heroic epics, creation myths, and gentle fables, this is folklore with a real sense of place — naming the very mountains, rivers, and cities you can still visit today.

A treasury for the whole family

Written for readers 8 and up and a pleasure to read aloud, Legends of Ukraine is a keepsake for heritage families, a gateway for young mythology fans, and a window into one of Europe's richest and least-known story traditions.

Bring 24 timeless legends home today.
