This account, translated from the Russian, concerns a family discovered living deep in the forest (Taiga) of Siberia near the Mongolian border. They were a remnant of the Old Believers religious grouping who rejected Peter the Great's religious reforms. Cut off from the rest of the world, this remaining family were discovered by geologists surveying in the area. The 3 adult children had never met another human being. It is a heart-warming account of their life and interaction with the geological personnel that took them into their hearts.
