The Tale of the Walnut Root

Misfortune has struck the village: the birds have stopped singing, the trees in the orchards have withered under the light of the Red Star, all the food has vanished somewhere, and many people have fallen asleep and cannot wake up... They say the Red Lord is behind it, together with his faithful henchmen: the Broom, the Boots and the Two-Headed Eagle. And so Tarasyk sets off with the Cockerel in search of the Red Lord. Will they manage to expose the villain and save the magical tree on which the human race rests? Many trials and adventures lie ahead of them, but they find good friends, and together no obstacle can frighten them. “The Tale of the Walnut Root” helps young readers become acquainted with one of the sad pages in the history of Ukraine, and yet proves once again that light does conquer darkness and that truth prevails over wrong.
