The opening of the book introduces a playful and fantastical world, beginning with the tale of the Zagabog, a unique creature ruling a golden island since prehistoric times. Set against a backdrop of imagination, the stories seem to explore themes of innocence, adventure, and a delightful take on mythical elements. The opening of the book presents the Zagabog, a lighthearted and good-hearted figure adorned with an "ugly crown," who oversees a variety of creatures from different eras as they navigate through time on his golden island. The storytelling style is lyrical and engaging, evoking imagery of primordial landscapes and humorous interactions among the fantastical inhabitants.
