Vladimir Nabokov believed that there are three components of a writer: a storyteller, a teacher and a wizard. Yuri Koval fits perfectly into this formula. His book “Sparrow Lake” is lyrical miniatures about nature, about the world around us. Children and adults will see completely different images here: for children - horses, rooks, butterflies, red cats and porcelain bells, for adults - parables in which the magical world of poetry and subtle spiritual vibrations opens up.

Full of life , sometimes lyrical illustrations by Galina Makeeva for a wonderful children's book.

For primary school age.
