The Scarlet Flower. The Tale of the Key Keeper Pelageya

This is a wonderful fairy tale that Aksakov heard in his childhood from the key keeper Pelageya. It tells of love, fidelity, and selflessness. For it is these feelings that help break evil spells and transform a monster into a prince. However, upon reading it, young readers will understand something else: beautiful appearance is not the main thing in a person; his feelings and actions are what define the true beauty of the soul. Thus, thanks to the beautiful and kind fairy tale, the Scarlet Flower, which has no name in the world of flowers, has become a symbol of love and devotion.
