The Little Humpbacked Horse

A magnificent gift edition in exquisite and stylish design!  

The ringing, light, rhythmic lines of the poetic fairy tale by Peter Yershov “The Little Humpbacked Horse” sound like the clatter of the hooves of a magical horse, and remain in memory for many, many years after the first reading. The extraordinary adventures of the simple-minded Ivanushka and his faithful friend the little humpbacked horse have been delighting children and adults for many years. After all, they, as should be in a good, kind fairy tale, always end well! The classic folklore plot and the bright, rich illustrations by Igor Egunov will make this book a wonderful gift for any celebration.
Since time immemorial, people have invented extraordinary lands, populated them with wondrous beings, and told strange stories about amazing events that happened “in a certain kingdom, in a certain state.” This is how fairy tales appeared, without which we cannot imagine childhood today. Magical or very realistic, scary or funny, folk or literary — all of them captivated listeners with their uniqueness, mystery, transmitted invaluable treasures from ancestors, and laid in hearts: age-old wisdom, understanding of good and evil, unwritten rules of life, — thereby forming a unique cultural code of nations and peoples.
