The Flower with Seven Colors and Other Tales

Valentin Petrovich Kataev is a classic of Russian literature, a master of artistic prose, who also wrote for children. This collection includes his most famous tales for younger schoolchildren: "The Flower with Seven Colors", "The Whistle and the Pitcher", and "The Pearl".
In these works, reality and magic intertwine in the most whimsical way, but magic turns out to be completely useless or even harmful when it is accompanied by greed, foolishness, or laziness. The tales of V. Kataev teach justice, diligence, mutual assistance, and honesty towards others and oneself.
For younger schoolchildren.
