Description
A collection of picture stories for children by Russian children's authot Nikolai Nosov.
There is much more to say about Nikolai Nosov and his work. Neither this introduction nor the book itself sets out to present all the writer's best stories. The book includes just ten humorous stories and a longer one for younger children. Some may already be familiar to readers abroad, such as Mishka’s Porridge, The Telephone. Jolly Family. Story-Tellers, The Crucian Carp and Visiting Grandpa.
Each story is interesting in itself, but all of them together express the author’s aspiration “to show what a pure, wonderful being a child is. how receptive he is to goodness, what marvellous, intelligent, warm and poetical feeling he has in him and how much he needs attention, understanding and affection".
