The book explores the rich oral folklore of the Kalmouk and Mongolian people, recounting myths and legends that reflect their cultural heritage. The opening sections introduce themes of magic, adventure, and moral lessons, setting the stage for the extraordinary characters and their quests. The beginning of the work provides a preface that contextualizes the tales, explaining their origins and transformations through cultural exchanges.

Following the preface, readers are introduced to the "Well-and-wise-walking Khan," whose journey is marked by encounters with magicians and perilous adventures.
