Konstantin Paustovsky wrote the main fairy tales at the end of the war and in the first post-war years - hence their poignancy. In these fairy tales, everything is simple, everyday, there are almost no miracles. Here, nature is endowed with magical powers: a sparrow, a frog, a horse, frosts, rains. Magical power invades people's lives and, depending on the act, helps a person or punishes. Light and shadows flicker swiftly and easily, one picture replaces another. “Writing a fairy tale is as difficult as conveying in words the faint smell of grass,” admitted K. Paustovsky. “You write a fairy tale almost without breathing - so as not to blow off the finest pollen with which it is covered ..” The feeling that Konstantin also illustrated “without breathing” Paustovsky Gennady Epishin. How else to explain this absolute fusion of words and drawings? Stories and fairy tales by Konstantin Paustovsky are included in the school curriculum for the subject of extracurricular reading. In this collection of fairy tales, the writer's works are included in full, without abbreviations.
