The Italian writer Gianni Rodari is well known to millions of readers as the author of funny children's fairy tales. “The Grammar of Fantasy” is not addressed directly to children, although it is ultimately written for them. The main content of the book is the issues of versatile education of a child, the formation of his unique individuality. The author is especially interested in the problem of the development of creativity in children, in particular the “phenomenon” of fantasy. A number of chapters are devoted to the analysis of the structure of a fairy tale and various ways of creating it. When developing his methods of “stimulating the child’s imagination,” Rodari mainly relies on the works of psychologists, teachers, and linguists, in particular, his attention is drawn to the works of many Soviet scientists. Rodari’s book is of interest to a wide range of circle of readers and, of course, first of all, for parents and teachers.
