Viktor Aleksandrovich Chizhikov (1935-2020) was the creator of Misha, the teddy bear symbol of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. He was also an illustrator and cartoonist, and one of the most renowned children's book artists of the 20th century. Several generations of children grew up on his books. Chizhikov's vibrant, original illustrations for Russian and foreign literary works, imbued with warmth and kindness, have become a treasure trove of international children's book illustration.

This publication is a collection of stories and observations by Viktor Aleksandrovich Chizhikov about his life and work, contemporary artists, literary heroes, and his memories of travels and his time spent there. Viktor Chizhikov emerges before the reader not only as a remarkable storyteller and brilliant illustrator, but also as a good friend, an enthusiastic, kind, considerate, and very trusting person—as his friends and family saw him.
