How much joy and light the stories told by Victor Dragunsky give us. And not so much because of the humor contained in them, but because of the truthfulness of the plot, because of the accurately conveyed moments from the life of the children, the relationships between the “old” and the “small”. His stories about Denis Korablev, the prototype of which was his son, Denis Dragunsky, also a writer and playwright, have been published in large print runs for more than half a century. Films based on his works are loved by everyone, both adults and children. This book was published in 1964 with illustrations by Lev Tokmakov with stories: Contents Where has this been seen, where has this been heard?
