Who is the author:
Anna Starobynets has held several professions before she realized that, above all else, she loves writing stories you can’t stop reading. Today her books are translated into many languages, have received literary awards, and have been adapted into films. For adults, Starobynets writes frightening, mesmerizing fairy tales, for which she was dubbed “the Russian Stephen King.” And for children—fairy tales that aren’t scary, but just as mesmerizing. She knows the business, because she has two children of her own, and there’s also her red poodle, Kokos, who understands much more than a dog is supposed to.Source: Audiobook Lovers’ Club
