Baba Marta: Baba Marta is a story inspired by Bulgarian folktales, the tradition of martenitsi (thin double strand bracelets made of twisted red and white yarn), and the March 1st holiday celebrated all over Bulgaria.  Baba Marta is a fickle grumpy woman who lives high up in the mountains. Her mood can change the seasons and bring icy winds or warm sun rays. As Baba Marta becomes unhappy, winter arrives. Snow piles up for months. Papa and Penda, who live further down the mountain, endure this long cold winter. Finally, they decide something must be done to change Baba Marta’s mood and help the return of green grass, flowers, and warm nights. Will their plan work? Will Baba Marta ever smile and bring back spring?

The stories in this book have been taken from various sources, both Bulgarian and foreign. The author has tried to divide them into three sections – ‘Myths of the Ancient World’, ‘Legends of Creation’ and ‘Legends of the Supernatural’. The first section contains myths of heroes, gods and places, related to Antiquity.
