What Happened and Other Stories

Boris Stepanovich Zhitkov (1882 – 1938) – a Soviet children’s writer, genuinely in love with the sea. Throughout his life, he tried many professions and made a round-the-world trip, but he received real recognition for his literary work.
This book contains the cycles of stories "What Happened" and "What I Have Seen", as well as selected works about animals. The author drew inspiration from warm memories of his own childhood and from notes about the distant corners of the planet he had the chance to visit. Little dreamers will surely be moved by the journeys through the pages of this book!
