Mufta, Polbotinka i Mohovaya Boroda

I'm curious about the creative process behind building such a magical universe. Did Raud draw from childhood memories or folk tales?

The sense of adventure and friendship really brought me back to my own childhood. How did the author manage to evoke such pure joy?

The stories feel rooted in a certain folklore vibe, and I wonder if the author was drawing from Estonian traditions or myths.
