Ludmila Petrushevskaya is sometimes called “Andersen in a skirt”—apparently because her tales often feature kings and princesses, magicians, doctors, cooks, and nannies, and also magical wardrobes, mirrors, horses, dolls, dogs, and cats—all together taking part in extraordinary events, fun adventures, nightmarish dreams, and love stories.
