Summary/Abstract: In the present study, we created an overview of the popular literature of the huts of Bucovina, starting from the volume of stories of the writer of hut origin Casian Balabașciuc. The popular literature specific to the shacks of Bucovina starts from a symbolic interpretation of the world that the shacks often considered hostile or mysterious. Casian Balabașciuc's stories surprise the reader by presenting a world of simple people, with all their rituals, traditions and beliefs. The popular literature specific to the huts is based on animistic beliefs, the transmission of strong sacred values and the existence of a mysterious life, which unfolded as they pleased in the middle of the forest.
