A summer and a winter journey with the storyteller Maria Schild leads to the peoples of Siberia. Along the way, she tells the tale of the beautiful Vasilisa and her suffering with the witch Baba Yaga, who flies in a mortar. We hear about Angara, the daughter of Baikal, who escapes from her father, and learn about shamanism, the creation of the world, and why the peoples are so different. The traveling storyteller shares her encounters with the inhabitants of Siberia and their culture. In the first volume of the Blue Caravan by Maria Schild, nine fairy tales are connected to a trip on the world-famous Trans-Siberian Railway. A whimsical travel literature for adults and children aged eight and up.
