A little more than a century and a half ago, a wonderful writer lived in the Urals – Dmitry Narkisovich Mamin, a Siberian. He had a keen sense of the nature of his native land and was very fond of children. D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak wrote a lot for adult readers, but most of us know and love his fairy tales. The best fairy tales of the writer are included in our book.In our book, the children will get to know Gray Neck, a very brave duck with a broken wing, a Hare who desperately wanted to appear brave, and a cheerful little Booger who owned the whole world. They will find out how the last Fly lived and why the Crow and the Canary could not understand each other. And then, together with Alyonushka, they will have a wonderful magical dream.
