“Emerald Fish” captivates with its amazing “Russian children’s” language, sincerity and “authenticity”. Nikolai Nazarkin himself was once a small patient and shows the life of the hospital from the inside. But don’t think that the book will be nothing but whining and boredom - you can only learn the ability to make friends and enjoy life from the heroes of the “ward” stories! The collection of stories “The Emerald Fish” - Nikolai Nazarkin’s debut in literature - was immediately noticed by critics and received a Small Prize ( for a story or short story) National Children's Literary Award "Cherished Dream".
