Written in 1911, The Forest Song is a dramatic fairy tale in which Lesya Ukrainka brings the ancient myth of Orpheus into a Volyn forest filled with characters from Ukrainian folk mythology.
At the heart of the story is the relationship between Mavka and Lukash, a tale of love, self-betrayal, redemption, and the transformative power of art. Nature itself becomes a living presence, moving through cycles of loss and renewal.
This edition is illustrated by Polina Doroshenko, whose delicate drawings open a visual window into the magical world of The Forest Song.
