Kings and queens, pugnacious princes and wayward princesses, wise winged snakes and cats that traditionally walk on their own - young readers will find all this in the new book by the famous children's writer Svetlana Lavrova, winner of the Cherished Dream Prize. "Who needs books without pictures or without conversations!" - Alice L. Carroll was perplexed. In the fairy-tale stories “The Year of the Snake” and “Elves of the Military Camp,” included in this book, the heroes will talk a lot, and it is not surprising - after all, the inhabitants of the Great Three-Room Kingdom will have to find answers to 12 eternal questions in a year, from “What to do?” to “What is happiness?”, and the elf girl Elsie and the earthly boy Vitka will have to solve many exciting adventures, funny misunderstandings and important discoveries in just three days. The book is recommended for children of middle school age. Source:
