"“It is no coincidence that Mikhail Prishvin is called the “singer of the Russian forest”. Most of his work is devoted to the nature of his native land. Being an avid hunter, M. Prishvin spent a lot of time in the forests, noticing the slightest changes in nature, admiring the beauty around him. The writer’s stories are a reflection of his reverent love for the world around him, which he shares with readers. The collection includes M. Prishvin’s ten best stories about nature, which are included in school and extracurricular reading programs: “Fox Bread”, “Meadow. The Story of an Old Forester", "Floors of the Forest", "Birch Bark Tube" and others." -- cataloger's translation and interpretation of the cover
