How did a bear's head help in finding a thief? Why do fairy tale heroes hit the ground? Why does a batyr ask his wife to bring him underbaked bread?

This book will reveal the world of Udmurt mythology – stories of ancient times, when the land was inhabited by giants called alangasars, and the sky was so close that the clouds almost touched the roofs. Here, Vukuzyo dries his beard on a cloud, Shundy-Mumy, the mother of the sun, ensures that her son does not stray, and hunters compete with the forest spirit. These stories have come down to us in Udmurt riddles and fairy tales – many of them will seem familiar, yet reveal a new side.
