History in the World of Colored Gods belongs to the genre of historical fantasy detective story. The action takes place in a country similar to Victorian England. There is the Great Swamp, where the evergreen Mother Superior guards the dream of the swamp giant and where the dead pick the berries of Life. In the capital, whose streets instead of fog shelter apple color, there is a royal menagerie with many curiosities from around the world. The emerald bird even lives there, and she finally laid the long-awaited egg.
