The Boy and His Wooden Sword

Once upon a time in a certain city, there lived a Boy, and he lived in a huge house, beautiful like a jewelry box. He would go out to play at the playground, not alone, but with his grandmother –... for it was no ordinary city, full of cars and dangers worse than that. It was inhabited not only by good people and there were miracles happening there, not always good ones. Sometimes, sorcerers would be encountered too.
In such a recognizable, yet deeply fairy-tale world, the Boy met the orphan Roska, and together they set out through villages and fields, further into the future.
Alexander Davydoff, publisher and translator, leads us into the archetypal world of the Russian fairy tale, lasting throughout the entire 20th century in Russia and still ongoing.
