This novel is about the Russian pioneers of Siberia: hunters, Cossacks, merchants, and peasants. Without troops or commanders, in just half a century, these people, with very limited forces, quadrupled the territory of what was then Rus', laying the foundations of the Russian Empire. Needless to say, the annexation of these vast Siberian expanses was, in many ways, a defining factor in Russia's complex history. In the modern consciousness, this important historical event has become relegated to legends that bear little resemblance to reality. For his novel, Viktor Remizov takes one episode from those events four hundred years ago, and the reader is given the opportunity to participate in a Siberian expedition spanning several thousand miles, with difficult, often deadly, tasks; an opportunity to be alongside the people of that time, whose skills and abilities, way of life, and worldview enabled them to accomplish what even today seems impossible.

The word “fairy tale” in the title of the novel is used in the old meaning of this word: “a record of oral testimony of witnesses, a report of events, incidents.”
