Olga Skvirskaya’s story “The Little Theatre,” which gave the collection its name, took second place in 2018 in the 98th competition for new authors of the International Great Wanderer to the Young Foundation. The author collects entertaining stories about dolls. After all, a doll is more than just a toy - this is how it happened historically. And puppet theater is more than just a performance with puppets instead of actors. Sometimes in a puppet theater there are no puppets at all. How so? It all depends on the Puppeteer's idea. If he is a genius, then his experiment will be remembered by the audience for a lifetime. And if not, then there is always something to laugh at.
