For the first time in Russia, an extensive book series is published, where each page of the text is accompanied by a bright picture. For the reader, especially a young beginner, this has a double emotional and psychological impact. Entering the field of reading is not an easy process, an important part of education and development. It can be difficult for children to immediately overcome a thick classic volume. That is why the Illustrated Classics Library presents the best examples of retelling world-famous works, and the translations are made by the best Russian masters.
