The Merry Temple of Childhood: the Life and the Works of Zirka Menzatiuk. Children’s literature is that spe- cial seed from which the field of every soul will depend on in the future. If a good and high-quality seed is planted, then the harvest will be rich and bountiful; filled with erudition, a mode of thinking, a level of abstraction and tastes. We have taken upon ourselves the small challenge of introducing the literary circles with the wellknown writers of Bukovyna. This time we want to bring to your attention a talented multipotentialite, a publicist, a prosaist, and a devoted writer for the young and teenage audience – Zirka Menzatiuk. The aim of this work is: to analyse the literary heritage of this famous Ukrainian writer, to immerse into the beginnings of the creative talent of Zirka Menzatiuk, to feel the power of her artistic word and the mightiness of yet unaccomplished plans, to examine the life of the author, to seize the theme of her works and the impact of folklore on them. Taking into consideration the author’s style, content and target audience, we can say with confidence that the original creative mission of Z. Menzatiuk is not only to submerge her reader into the imaginary kingdom of unordinary images of childhood, but to bring in a light, interactive writing style, a mountain of knowledge, historic facts and life lessons.
