A Little Town in a Snuffbox. Tales

The tale «A Little Town in a Snuffbox» is familiar to each of us since childhood. V. F. Odoevsky, while creating the plot, was based on two remarkable qualities of a person — the thirst for knowledge and the ability to fantasize. Misha, the main character of the tale, is enchanted by the beauty of the musical snuffbox. He is very curious to know how music is born in it. To the sounds of a beautiful melody, he falls asleep and finds himself in the magical town of Ding-Ding. Or maybe this is not a dream at all? The book also includes tales written on folk motifs: «Moroz Ivanovich», «Indian tale of the four deaf», and «Igoshа».
