Description

This edition includes fairy tales by the children’s writer D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak. Among all his books, the author especially cherished “Alenushka’s Tales.” He said: “This is my favorite book—love wrote it itself, and that’s why it will outlive everything else.” The author’s little daughter grew up without a mother, and in the evenings her father told her tales inspired by memories of childhood spent among the Ural mountains and forests. These are stories told with love. In these tales you’ll find bright colors of a sunny day, the beauty of generous Russian nature. Together with Alenushka you will see forests, mountains, seas, and deserts; your eyes will make toys come alive and plants start talking, and mosquitoes will overwhelm a mighty bear. And, of course, you’ll laugh at the stupid fly that is convinced people put the table and take jam out of the cupboard just to treat her.
