Since time immemorial, people have invented extraordinary countries, populated them with wonderful beings, and told curious stories about amazing events that happened «in a certain kingdom, in a certain state». Thus, fairy tales appeared, without which we cannot imagine childhood today. Magical or very realistic, scary or funny, folk or literary — all of them captivated listeners with their unusualness, mystery, passed down from ancestors and instilled invaluable treasures in hearts: eternal wisdom, understanding of good and evil, unwritten rules of life, — and thus formed the unique cultural code of nations and peoples.
