The world-famous compiler of exciting stories, Baron Munchausen, praised this book. The great master said the following: "I never thought that my contemporaries and countrymen, the Ukrainian hasids, could invent and tell such skillful narratives!" The Baron went on to remark that in his opinion the stories should be called "Absolutely Incredible Stories", so that by this they might be distinguished from his own absolutely truthful opuses. The astute reader, according to Mun?hausen, will undoubtedly recognize the serious intentions behind the humorous title.
