This collection presents some selected fairy tales by Leo Tolstoy. Many of them are familiar to you since childhood, and many—perhaps—will be heard for the first time. Your children should definitely become acquainted with this side of the writer’s work. Talking about the value of fairy tales, which contain domestic and everyday wisdom that has no time relevance, isn’t necessary. Instead, it’s worth saying that the little reader—or listener—along with your personal upbringing, will receive life wisdom of a great people expressed in vivid and lively imagery of the great writer’s language. With these fairy tales, love of reading literature may begin—which in itself will lead to the development of a rich personality.
