Great translation of a great classic One of the very few Pushkin tales for children available in the English - and in surprisingly great translation! Absolutly preserves the beauty & music of the original. Classic fairytale for all. Shame it is out of print!!! I'm ordering third copy already for the gifts and just explain people that I had to buy used as the new is not available...
A gorgeous edition of a classic tale. Fantastic illustrations for this classic fable about a man who catches a magic fish. The man releases the fish when it speaks to him and asks him to spare its life. In gratitude, the fish grants him a wish, but the man's greedy wife demands more and more.... Children love this magical tale, and adults will appreciate the detailed decorations in this rendition.
