Flower-seven-grain. Tales and stories. Kataev V.

The fairy tale “Flower-seven-color” is the hallmark of the wonderful Russian writer Valentin Petrovich Kataev (1897-1986). But not only this is why it is made into the name of the collection. The very work of the author is multicolored, like the petals of the color-seven-color. Already in the very first works, his talent was manifested “to write” with paints, sounds, smells.

The book included chosen fairy tales and stories of the writer. Tales, originally composed by the author for their children, will teach to distinguish the right actions from the wrong, to see the main thing in life, respond to the pain of another-even if there is no color-seven-color, work-without the help of a magic pipe, tell the truth-even if everyone is silent. And in the stories, many of which are autobiographical, the time saturated with stormy events and what V.P. Kataev so appreciated - the special world of the family, the holiday, and love. And he was able to convey all this with the severity of children's perception.
