The Black Hen, or Underground Dwellers

Antoniy Pogorelskiy wrote the fairy tale "The Black Hen, or Underground Dwellers" for his nephew Alyosha Tolstoy – the future poet and writer. The work has long become a classic of children's literature. Young readers, initially captivated by the magic... of the plot, receive an invaluable lesson at the end of the tale: they go through all the trials with the hero Alyosha and begin to realize the power of good, truth, and hard work. Thanks to the unusual plot and refined design, the book will not only be a magnificent gift but also an excellent addition to a personal library! The deep meaning of this fairy tale is very accurately conveyed in the illustrations by Nika Goltz – an unparalleled master of book illustration, a honored artist of Russia, and a holder of the honorary diploma of the International Hans Christian Andersen Award.
