Such Was the Planet

A wonderful, sun-filled story about summer—full of scents, tastes, and sensations. A story after which warmth in your soul and a smile won’t slip off your face for a long time.

This is early, one might say—almost cloudless Krupivіn. This story plunges into childhood—in the best sense. It seems that only Krupivіn knows how to convey the feelings of flight and happiness that adults have forgotten… Though not only those feelings… In a few quick strokes, he draws surprisingly true images.

Children, as you know, have boundless imagination, capable of turning a stream into a sea, and a watermelon… into a Planet. Into an amazing and beautiful Planet!…

It’s a story about an unexpectedly appearing friendship, about small and big joy, about the most real Childhood.
