The White Fur Coat

The collection includes six stories by the wonderful writer Elena Nikolaevna Vereyskaya. Sincere and touching, they will be interesting to both large and small readers.

The heroes of these stories are children whose childhood fell during the harsh wartime and the joyless post-war period. But children are children at any time, and in their kind little world, there is always room for love, friendship, participation, exciting games, and an unstoppable flight of imagination. Alongside the children are wise and sensitive adults, always ready to help the kids.

The surprisingly vivid, plastic graphic illustrations by Nina Noskovich vividly reveal the character and experiences of the big and small heroes of the book and their friends—the mischievous little squirrel Kolobok and the loyal dog Karay.
