Grandpa Slyshko, a former prospector, a joker and a "trickster", knew all kinds of stories! To children from the Ural working village, he told both "secret tales" - "on a serious matter, which not everyone can report", and "stories of the past" - about ordinary mine and factory people. A few decades later Pavel Bazhov, who once listened to tales from the mouth of his grandfather Slyshko, wrote his own history of the factory Urals, in which he closely intertwined fiction and reality. In Bazhov's Ural tales coexist the Mistress of the Copper Mountain and metallurgist P. P. Anosov, Ognevushka-Poskakushka and self-taught artist V. F. Torokin, the Great Poloz and Barina Koltovchikha (N. A. Koltovskaya). Here coexist magic objects - caskets, mirrors, earrings and rings - and simple kayolki, blondes and other "strumentishko". And the mystical description of the space under the Mountain does not contradict the real stories about the development of artistic casting, the revival of the method of brewing bullaut, peasant revolts and the abolition of serfdom. Some tales mention the more contemporary for the author history of the country of the first five-year period, the Great Patriotic War. However, the Ural tales are dedicated not to history, but to the Master - a man-creator, who is able to feel the beauty of the world around him, so he is helped by all the fairy tale creatures that personify this world. Pavel Petrovich Bazhov, the Ural fairy-tale writer himself, was such a master. In 1948, the artist Vasily Bayuskin created illustrations for Bazhov's anniversary collection - the 70th anniversary of the author and the 10th anniversary of the first edition of the book of Ural fairy tales were approaching. Almost seventy years have passed - and the gift book with illustrations by V. Bayuskin returns to the reader.
