The famous book illustrator Yuri Vasnetsov once stumbled upon a forest swamp and became interested in the strange unlike life of small creatures. He gathered grass, bugs, spiders, frogs, dragonflies, settled at home between the window frames, in a jar of water poured floating little things. I watched, drew, then cut, glued, joined, plastered, without observing any rules. The result was a series of drawings, from which it was decided to make a book. The text was entrusted to write a connoisseur of nature Vitaly Bianchi. In those years, it often happened so that the artist invented the book, and the text was completed later.
In brief:
- Reprint edition of a rare book - one of the first book works of Yuri Vasnetsov.
- The book has not been reprinted since its release in the 1930s.
- In addition to the book itself, eight sketches for it are collected under the dust cover.
