Beatrix Potter

English children's writer Beatrix Potter has loved animals since childhood and has studied them all her life. In her fairy tales, the real and the fictional are combined simply and naturally. The reserved Lake District, beloved by all Englishmen, with its trees and streams, small farms and hedges, is present in her books on the same rights as fairy-tale characters. The "animal world" of the works of Beatrix Potter is small; it is intimate, but by no means closed. It has enough events and adventures. So not a single kid will get bored in the company of Uhti-Tukhti - the best laundress in the world.
Uhti-Tukhti washes and irons. Uhti-Tukhti drinks hot tea. She sings songs and can even teach the little girl Lucy to be neat. Who is this mysterious Uhti-Tukhti? Why are needles sticking out from under her bonnet?
The famous artist Boris Kalaushin painted a small but cozy little world, arranged with love and tenderness. The images of the heroes of "Uhti-Tukhti" created by him are original, but at the same time they are consonant with the text and do not conflict with the original illustrations of Beatrix Potter. With the other hand and other paints, with a confident precise stroke, Kalaushin creates simple, charming and very memorable drawings. His flamboyant "decorative" drawing style is loved by many generations of readers.
