Trip to the Holy Days

New Year and Christmas holidays bring unique joy to children and adults. And how nice it is when there is an interesting book! For example, a tale about how a gymnasium student goes to a village for the Christmas holidays.... The adventure of the winter road, the joy of meeting family, first love, celebrating Christmas, hunting for a bear - how much carefree happiness! But at the same time, the boy sees how soldiers return from the fronts of the Great War to the village, and with them comes a sense of some kind of trouble... The waves of the Red Revolution are already very close, and - who knows? - maybe these are the last happy Holy Days for the young gymnasium student under the shade of the Christmas Star.
