The Life of Remarkable Children. Book Two

Little Lermontov grew up to be a gifted painter, Pascal - a pet, Champollion - a polyglot, and eleven-year-old Krylov was the breadwinner of the family... But one thing was common among the different fates of future geniuses - their childlike insatiable curiosity and adult tireless work. 
For today's curious schoolchildren, Valery Voskoboynikov created a unique series of stories about the childhood of remarkable people - "The Life of Remarkable Children".
