The Girl from the City. Stories illustrated by V. Galdyaev

On the pages of this book, you will meet kind and sensitive children whose destinies are closely tied to the Great Patriotic War. Alongside adults, they work in the fields and help with household chores, but they do so in... a special way, as only children can: joyfully, sincerely amazed by the new, and imagining various stories. The difficulties they face take a lot of strength, but do not prevent the children from believing only in a better future. The "Children's Library" series features the best works of domestic and world literature for children aged 5 to 16. It includes folklore and literary fairy tales, poems, short stories, and novellas by outstanding classical writers. All works are part of the education programs in literature and are recommended by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation for study in schools and for independent reading.
