The stories are short, but interesting. But the illustrations and some photography, mostly, leave you to desire more clarity and detail. But it is still a good book.

Text and skazky are wonderful, but the illustrations are pretty wild and out of context to stories by a great Russian / Soviet childrens' story-teller.

An insainly humorous and an intelligent book. Unfortunately, this travels of his with cameraman had been cut short and not allowed them a visit to Leningrad, the intellictual (in real sense of the word).... However, maybe it was for the best, as the after-the-war skinned to its famishing raw cement, the after osage by soviets and hitler's osadage, there would nothing to enjoy... Just untimely gray-haired women and veterans, who stayed there.... with their wise heads held strong and untimidated by all the horrors of their unhuman conditioned lives....

I have not yet started reading the texts, but pictures, for sure, are Super ugly, irrelevant and quite unusual for Russian story-tellers and their illustrators-helpers, at that !

All the old talk. Poorly organized and nothing new, better of intertaining in this volume.
