At the Edge of the Woods

The jewel of Russian literature, the poem "At the Edge of the Woods..." seems to encompass the entire vast world of Russian folk tales. The unforgettable lines of Pushkin come to life again under the magical brush of Mikhail Bychkov. Each page of this book is a window into a magical world that is hard to tear oneself away from.
These wonderful lines were born from the beginning of one of the Russian fairy tales told to Alexander Sergeyevich by his nurse, Arina Rodionovna, and were meant for the second edition of the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila." However, perfect in its completeness, this poem has long been perceived not just as a prologue to the poem. "At the Edge of the Woods..." has become a fairy tale in miniature, living an independent life, and its wonderful kaleidoscope has fascinated readers for almost two hundred years.
