The house that Jack built. English songs. Marshak S. Ya.

Samuel Yakovlevich Marshak (1887–1964) - poet, playwright, translator. His pen owns many works that are deservedly considered a classic and who are trusted by grandparents, mothers and dads.

Our book includes famous English songs (“The House that Jack built”, “Shalay-Boltai”, “Blow, blow, winds!” And others), as well as English poetry (from A. A. Milna, Edward Lira, Redyard Kipling) in the translation of S. Marshak.

. And Robin-Bobin is also an unknown character. Why did one fall from the wall, and the other eats so much? English folk poetry is inhabited by funny heroes who often surprise the Russian reader with their illogical behavior. But at the same time, how much charms are in these verses, how much wisdom, humor and bright, memorable rhymes! And we know and love these verses thanks to the brilliant translations of S. Ya. Marshak.
