A Little Town in a Snuffbox

The tortoiseshell snuffbox plays a beautiful melody - what is inside? What magical creatures create it? How I wish to become very, very small and see it all for myself!

The wonderful tale by Prince Odoevsky has been a classic of children's literature for almost two centuries and... an excellent cheat sheet on the basics of mechanics..

The delightful illustrations by Ekaterina Vakhina will instantly transport you to the 19th century, into the atmosphere of the heartfelt life of a noble estate.

The book is included in the school program for extracurricular reading.

It will help the student prepare for the new school year and will be a useful and engaging read for the summer.
