An exciting and fun journey into the world of winged expressions!
What is a “filkin decree” or “quietly and by stealth”? What does “an open soul” mean? At what point does a question become “delicate”? No matter how much you talk about the rich and colorful Russian language, you always learn something new. We use a huge number of winged expressions firmly established in our speech, but very few people know where they came from. With the skill of a linguist and the mischief of a poet, Andrey Usachyov helps unravel even the most difficult verbal word puzzles and, with vivid images, explains where fixed phrases come from and how to use them correctly in speech. Each funny poem containing an idiom is accompanied by no less cheerful explanation-comments, and fun songs help reinforce the knowledge even better!
Andrey Usachyov is a writer and poet, a classic of modern children’s literature, whose books have captivated millions of children and adults. Holder of the Honorary Diploma of the H.K. Andersen Prize, laureate of the National Prize for contributions to the development of children’s literature and many other literary awards.
