Mr. Willoughby's Christmas Tree

Christmas is around the corner, and Mr. Willoughby is ordering a tree for the holiday. But there is one problem: the tree is too large and doesn't fit in the living room! But the tree can be trimmed a bit!... Thus begins the real adventure of the tree top, passing from hand to hand, and then from paw to paw, bringing joy to all the animals in the forest, big and small, and filling the atmosphere with Christmas spirit.Mr. Willoughby's Christmas Tree is a classic of children's literature, first published in 1963 and loved by several generations of children and adults for over 50 years. In 1995, a Christmas show based on the book featured Robert Downey Jr., Stockard Channing, Leslie Nielsen, and... Kermit the Frog from The Muppet Show as the narrator. For the first time, the book is published in Russian in a brilliant poetic translation by Yulia Simbirskaya.
