The collection by Kir Bulychev includes two stories: “Bluebeard’s Closet” and “Dragonosaurus”. In the first story, the Seleznev family, including the Simferopol grandmother, came up with a task for Alice for historical practice - to dismantle one of the warehouses of the Institute of Time, what if the girl stumbles upon it for some unsolved mystery, and there turned out to be a lot of secrets... In the story “Dragonosaurus,” Alice goes in search of her geologist friend Magdalene. She, trying to bring the egg of a fire-breathing dinosaur in a time machine from the Mesozoic, got confused in time along the way and ended up in the deep Middle Ages. Alice, finding herself in the 15th century, met Afanasy Nikitin and Leonardo da Vinci, Robin Hood and Joan of Arc, visited ancient London and Krakow and, finally, helped Magdalene find her dragonosaur. The publication reproduces 80 illustrations by the famous artist Mark Lisogorsky.
