This collection includes Russian folk and foreign fairy tales, author's fairy tales and fables. Of the minuses: the book sometimes has too bright a background of pages. The table of contents does not indicate who illustrated this or that tale - the fable. But all the shortcomings are compensated for by the wonderful drawings of Italian artists. The texts are given in the retelling of Karganova E., Kuznetsova L., Letova S., Sergeeva G., Tarlovsky M., Yakhnina L. and differ slightly from the classical ones.
