The Elephant in the Illustrations of Gennady Spirina

Little Nadia fell ill. Nothing brings her joy or sparks her interest in the world. Her parents are ready to fulfill any of her whims, any desire – just to see the light in their daughter's eyes again. And when Nadia has one single request – to meet a real live elephant – her parents make the impossible possible for Nadia's recovery.
The story of the Russian classic Alexander Kuprin about the friendship between a little girl and an elephant is illustrated by the world-renowned artist Gennady Spirina. The illustrations are filled with attention to historical details and a special atmosphere of fairy-tale realism.
