Alexander Malinovsky is better known to Russian readers as the author of several stories and novels, addressed primarily to adult readers. It was for such books that he was awarded the All-Russian Prize “Russian Tale” and twice became a laureate of the magazine “Russian Echo”. However, books for children organically complement the creative portrait of the writer. For one of them - the story “The Adventures of Three Daredevils” - Alexander Malinovsky was awarded the All-Russian Literary Prize named after P. Ershov. “Dal without Edge” is the first poetry collection by Alexander Malinovsky for children and youth.
