About the book: 1993 / The stories of V.Yu. Dragunsky are read with constant interest by both adults and children. The writer’s contemporaries remember him as an open, kind, charming person, and the title of the famous story “He is alive and glowing...” was quite suitable for the author himself. This was the case with all of the writer’s work. Dragunsky wrote for children, creating a wonderful world of sunbeams, sparkling eyes and sonorous children’s laughter. And the words of the writer: “Hurry to bring joy to children!” could well replace multi-page parenting manuals for young parents.
