The Diary of the Little Mermaid. Kind Tales for Girls

In one volume, kind tales for girls, previously published in seven books by the Russian writer Lydia Charskaya (1875–1937), come together for the first time — including the famous collection "Tales of the Blue Fairy."
The works of Lydia Charskaya literally enchanted several generations of Russian children: at the beginning of the 20th century, she was the only "sovereign of thoughts" for young female readers, whose popularity scarcely surpassed that of Pushkin.
In her magical stories, whose heroes were fairy-tale beings — kings, fairies, and evil sorcerers, there was everything: girlhood friendship, heartfelt conversations, first loves, romance, sentimentality, and small tragedies.
