A cove from a quiet backwater

While resting in a forest sanatorium, Serhiyko and his friends have conceived a fairy tale for the girl Olya, who has fallen ill. However, they have no idea that the water creatures, forest creatures and mermaids they have invented are real...

A fascinating fairy tale by the Shevchenko Prize winner Volodymyr Rutkivskyi about the touching friendship of schoolchildren Serhiyko and Olya with the amazing underwater creature Bukhtyk. This unusual hero, brilliantly invented by Volodymyr Rutkivskyi and wonderfully portrayed by Rostyslav Popskyi, is simply doomed to reader love and success.

This is the first part of a fairy tale trilogy.
