About This Book
This adaptation of a Russian folktale tells the story of Ivan, a clever peasant who discovers a pot of gold. His joy is short-lived when the greedy lord of the manor attempts to claim the treasure for himself. The narrative centers on Ivan's ingenious efforts to outsmart the lord, highlighting themes of fairness, cleverness, and standing up to injustice. Ideal for children aged 4-11, it offers a gentle introduction to classic folklore and sparks conversations about right and wrong.
Because he wants to keep the pot of gold he found, Ivan must outwit the lord of the manor who wants the gold for himself.
