The boy and his wooden sword. Davydov A.

Once upon a time there was a boy in one city, and he lived in a huge house, beautiful, like a lamb casket. And he went for a walk to the playground, but not one, but with his grandmother - after all, a city was not easy for cars and dangers worse. Not only kind people lived in it and miracles were performed there, too, are not always kind. Even the sorcerers used to meet.

in such a recognizable, but at the same time a deeply fairy -tale world, the boy was met by an orphan, and together they went through villages and fields, farther to the future.

Alexander Davydov, the publisher and translator, leads us to the archetypal world of the Russian fairy tale, which lasts the whole XX Russian century and never ended.
