There are so many different holidays in the world! Each country has its own customs and traditions: the Chinese celebrate the new year in February, the Irish love to dress in green clothes on St. Patrick's Day, and the British predict the weather on St. Swithun's Day. Where did these traditions come from and what do they mean?
Collected in this book, 52 fairy tales and stories for each week of the year provide answers to this question. Each tale is dedicated to some holiday. So, on Easter you can read the Canadian fairy tale "Basket of Eggs", on Maslenitsa you can learn about the adventures of an escaped pancake, and on Oceans Day you can open a Japanese fairy tale about a castle on the seabed ...
Forward, to a fairy-tale circumnavigation!
