About the book: 2023 / These fairy-tale stories were written by me for a little girl with the wonderful name Sophia. One day I went up to the crib where Sonechka was sleeping, and for a long time I could not take my eyes off her bright, calm face. The girl, who looked like an angel, seemed to have appeared from a fairy tale herself and was now in her own fairy-tale world. That evening I decided to write these stories. Sonechka, this book is about you and for you. May she always remind you of a wonderful childhood and loving grandfather.
