SynopsisA collection of ten stories by a Russian writer who, after the overthrow of the tsar, turned to writing children's stories when he could no longer publish his politically charged adult works. "Hilarious as well as absurd."-Book Links, After his work for adults was censored in the late 1920s, Daniil Kharms (1905-42) began writing the stories & poems that would establish him as one of today's best-loved children's authors in Russia. This, the first English-language selection of his children's work, showcases ten of his most popular creations, including a hilarious send-up of Aesopian fables featuring a five-legged crow who runs into a fox one day while out shopping for coffee-a story that exemplifies Kharms's genius for absurd comedy. Accompanying the translations are pictures every bit as wild & crazy as the texts they illustrate.
