About the book: 1987 / Unlike the previous two, this cycle did not consist of individual stories published at different times and in different editions, but was almost entirely written in the winter of 1951–1952. and in 1953 it was published as a separate edition. Stanev included two or three previously published stories in the cycle after significant processing, creating a book of rare compositional and artistic integrity, which was included in the golden fund of Bulgarian children's literature. According to the writer, the stories in the cycle are united not so much by a common plot as by a common theme. This is Stanev's last book directly dedicated to the animal world. Stanev wrote about its creation in the pioneer newspaper “Septem Vriiche” (1956): “Remembering the many adventures I experienced in my early youth, I decided to describe them in one big story, divided into separate stories. I chose an old man from our city as the main character. He was a very poor man who lived by setting traps for foxes and weasels. I named him Grandfather Miryu because I liked the name. And the boy is himself.
