Description

Alexandre Dumas is known as a novelist, but to our readers he is absolutely unfamiliar as a storyteller. The works presented in this book are being published in Russian for the first time. Fairy tales created by the great French novelist especially for children. But the magical power of Dumas’s talent is such that these incredible stories about Pierrot, Snow White, the little Sirenette, the man who could not cry, and other heroes captivate not only children but adults as well.

The sixteenth book in the “Family Library” series includes fairy tales by the great French novelist Alexandre Dumas, written more than 100 years ago and still capturing the imagination of children and adults: The Magic Whistle, the Cavel King, Pierrot and the Goose, Sirenette, Snow White, the Man Who Could Not Cry, vain Tinty, Pierrot, My Uncle’s Rabbit, the Tale of Countess Bertha.
