In an ordinary town, standing on an ordinary river, there is a lane called Laurel Lane. Seemingly ordinary adults and children live there. But the stories that happen to them regularly, over the course of many years, or perhaps even centuries, are not entirely ordinary, although they aren't fairy tales either. That’s just the way they are, the residents of Laurel Lane. Illustrations by Nikolai Vorontsov. For primary school age.
As everyone knows, adults grow from children, and children from adults. In any case, that is exactly what has been happening in Laurel Lane for more than one century. Perhaps this explains why the adults who live here are like children, and the children are unlike any other children in the world. Where else, for instance, have you seen a boy whose very glance could break any object of material culture? Perhaps you have met a girl who is a biological weapon? Or a grown man who is a tamer of wild slippers? Exactly! Laurel Lane is a mysterious place...
