Willie

Childhood is a time when something magical appears in everyone’s life. Some have a talking bicycle, some have an abandoned giant village, some have a girlfriend, a very, very tall girl who bakes the most delicious cookies. Sevka, the main character of Nina Dashevskaya’s story “Willie,” has all of this. He, like all children, dreams of true friendship, believes in miracles, and they always happen to him. That is, of course, not only miracles happen to him, but Sevka never gets discouraged. He is sure that in the end, magic always prevails over any troubles! At first glance, the story “Willie” contains a lot of incredible things, but in general, everything is like in life. After all, this is a story about a very ordinary boy, for whom you worry and rejoice, as for your best friend. Nina Dashevskaya is a musician and writer. She plays the violin in the orchestra of the Children’s Musical Theater named after N. I. Sats, and her books have become favorites in many families. Nina Dashevskaya has twice become a laureate of the All-Russian competition for the best literary work for children and young people "Kniguru" - for the story "The Violin of an Unknown Master" (2013) and the collection of stories "About Music" (2014).
