In the firmament of Russian science fiction, the planet of Vladislav Krapivin is circling in a special orbit. In a special way, from the beginning of the 1960s, when the writer Krapivin entered the circle of our reading and made a name in literature.
However, the name is for us readers. For those who handed out titles and ranked writers, reader recognition is not a law. Krapivin always passed through the Department of Children's Literature. Outwardly, it is clear. The main characters of Krapivin's books are boys. But the author let them sail on the restless seas of life, in no way making them an indulgence and a discount for their boyish age. His own path, and everyone has it, the hero had to go himself. While saving yourself. Because such qualities as Honor, Courage, Justice never lose their luster, like a sword in a musketeer's hand. The collection includes a complete cycle of the famous "Flying Tales", as well as the novel "Guardian of the Loopy Islands", thematically adjacent to this cycle.
