“Childhood of Nikita” - one of the most perfect creations of A. N. Tolstoy. The story of a year from the life of a boy Nikita is woven from household sketches, picturesque descriptions of nature, small adventures, dreams and memories.

According to K. I. Chukovsky, in this amazing book “Both the Sky is blue and the grass greener, and holidays are more holidays; It has a calf delight of being. She will make everyone a carefree boy who has a living sparrow in his pocket. This is a book of happiness - it seems, the only Russian book in which the author does not preach happiness, does not promise it in the future, but immediately exudes it from itself. ”
