The collection of the famous prose writer, screenwriter and playwright Evgeniy Lvovich Schwartz (1896–1958) includes for the first time all nine of his fairy tales: “The Tale of Lost Time”, “The New Adventures of Puss in Boots”, “Two Brothers”, “The Absent-Minded Wizard”, “The Leningrad fairy tale”, “The story of an old balalaika”, “Two friends - a Yoke and a Girth”, “The War of Parsley and Styopka-Rastrepka” and “Petka-Rooster, the village shepherd”. The illustrations in the book were made by People's Artist of the Russian Federation V. A. Chizhikov.
“The Tale of Lost Time” was written by Evgeny Lvovich Schwartz for the puppet theater before the war in 1940. By this time, having realized his dream, he was already an accomplished writer and playwright who had found his own language and theme. Even as a child, Evgeniy, when asked by his mother what he wanted to become, embarrassedly whispered: “a novelist.” He began to invent his own stories early, and they all certainly had a happy ending. Even as a child, Evgeniy felt a craving for literature and theater. While studying at the Faculty of Law at Moscow University, he spent almost all the money his parents sent on theater tickets. It is not surprising that Schwartz soon joined the list of failed lawyers, including Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm and Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann. But an amazing storyteller was born - Evgeny Schwartz. In 1921, he came to Petrograd on tour with the actors of the Rostov Theater Workshop and quickly gained fame as a brilliant storyteller and improviser. A little later, work began in the children's editorial office of Gosizdat under the leadership of Samuil Marshak. Schwartz began writing stories for children's magazines Chizh and Hedgehog. At this time his first fairy tales appeared; they are all included in this unique collection. They are not just for children. Nikolai Pavlovich Akimov once said about Schwartz that “... there was still a wizard who, while retaining power over children, managed to conquer adults too.” Schwartz's tales in this book are illustrated with drawings by Viktor Aleksandrovich Chizhikov. Millions of Russians know him as the author of the cute, smiling Teddy Bear, which became the symbol of the XXII Summer Olympic Games. In Viktor Aleksandrovich’s drawings, not only bears, dogs, cats, hares and mice smile, but even frogs and crocodiles. It is immediately clear that these images were invented by a talented and cheerful person. Chizhikov seriously thought about becoming an illustrator after meeting the Kukryniksy. They liked Chizhikov’s school drawings, and famous cartoonists advised Victor not to give up drawing. As a result, Chizhikov entered the art department of the Moscow Printing Institute and, while still a student, began collaborating with the magazines “Crocodile”, “Funny Pictures” and “Murzilka”. His drawings regularly appeared on the pages of the magazines “Pioneer”, “Young Naturalist” and “Around the World”. Chizhikov illustrated more than two hundred books, including works by Andersen, Chukovsky, Mikhalkov, Milne, Zakhoder, Marshak and Uspensky. In 1981, he became an Honored Artist of the RSFSR, and in 2016, a People’s Artist of the Russian Federation.
