Description

This is a funny and touching fairy tale for children ages 5–7 and up to fairly grown-up people. Because, as in any good children’s book, there is something for adults to think about, something the young envy, and something children admire.

The book is in five parts. There is a suspicion—though the author didn’t comment on it or clarify it—that each part was written at different times and as a separate book. That’s why each part contains a short recap, a reference to the past—like in a series. I didn’t change that, even though I got permission: what if you’re listening in breaks too? And all kinds of minor inaccuracies and confusion with names and titles that exist in the paper and electronic book (there wasn’t such a proofreader as Sveta!) have been cleaned up, corrected, or brought to a common denominator in the audiobook.
