The book "Wonders of Russian Folk Crafts" from the "Amazing Rus'" series is dedicated to crafts, most of which originated in ancient times.

The author set herself a unique task: to tell, in a fairytale-like manner, not only the origins of craftsmanship but also how ordinary people lived in the old days, what they believed in, what they loved, and where they found inspiration for their creativity.

Matryoshka dolls, Khokhloma painting, Gzhel ceramics, Palekh miniatures, Zhostovo metal painting, Pavlovo Posad shawls, Vologda lace, Dymkovo toys, Orenburg downy shawls, Gorodets painting, Pomor birds of happiness, Veliky Ustyug silver niello—these and many other distinctive crafts are truly a treasure trove of multinational Russia.

The book is intended for children and their parents, and, more generally, for a wide range of readers interested in unique Russian culture and aesthetic traditions.
The book is generously provided with informative notes containing historical facts, additional material on crafts, and explanations.
