The Scarlet Flower. A Tale of the Key Keeper Pelageya

«The Scarlet Flower is not hard to find, but how can I know that there is nothing more beautiful in the whole world?» A tale by S. T. Aksakov, «The Scarlet Flower», about the power of rare and all-conquering love, remains one of the key works in Russian literature today. The illustrations for this touching plot were drawn by Boris Diodorov — a people's artist of the Russian Federation.
