The Humpbacked Horse by I. Yegunov

The fairy tale in verses The Humpbacked Horse is part of the treasury of Russian children's fairy tales. On its pages, all the most famous characters come to life — Ivashushka, golden-maned horses, the Firebird, the foolish king, the Tsar-maiden, the miraculous fish-whale, and Ivashushka's main friend, the humpbacked horse. Kindness and modesty are celebrated, while foolishness and greed are ridiculed. Beloved lines from childhood, excerpts recited by heart: “Hey, you sleepyheads! Why are you sleeping? Open the doors for your brother,” are combined with heartfelt illustrations by Igor Yegunov, created in the best traditions of domestic children's literature. Adults are guaranteed nostalgia, while children enjoy smiles and a love for reading.
