Deniska's stories by Viktor Dragunsky have been a favorite book for three generations. It was written half a century ago, and since then a lot has changed: when Deniska Korablev went to school, there was a completely different life - different streets and apartments, cars and shops, telephones and televisions. On the centenary of the birth of Viktor Dragunsky, the AST publishing house published this an unusual book. Next to Deniska's Stories are detailed explanations by Denis Dragunsky. About what happened and what didn’t happen. About inkwells and bicycles, about neighbors and friends, about the general's buttons and soda with syrup.
