Fairy tales hold a special place in our lives. Through them, a child learns the basic values of life, practices distinguishing good from evil and truth from lies. And what a small person sees through the prism of magical stories determines who they will become when they enter the big world of adults.
Boris Petrovich Yelikov, an engineer and inventor, has long and enthusiastically been writing fairy tales—magical fairy tales where Good always triumphs over Evil, Truth prevails, and Love is pure and sincere.
