Teremok is a classic Russian folk tale about an unlikely party of wild animals living together in a tiny wooden house in the forest (until it was crushed by a bear). It had dozens (if not hundreds) of editions over the years and was illustrated by many artists, including Yevgeny Charushin, Yevgeny Rachyov and Yuri Vasnetsov.
