The Adventures of Cipollino

A well-known fairy tale by the Italian writer Gianni Rodari, telling about the adventures of an onion-boy in a fruit and vegetable country. Among the characters of the tale are the Cavalier Tomato, the Countess Cherry, and Mistress Pumpkin.
The fairy tale in the full classical translation by Zlata Potapova comes out with beautiful, subtle and ironic illustrations by Vadim Chelak. This book will help parents, grandparents return to childhood, and young readers - enter a new fairy tale with wonderful living pictures.
The boy Cipollino was "lucky" because he was drawn by our most recognized masters of children's book illustration, including V. Suteev, L. Vladimirsky, E. Galei, E. Migunov, V. Chizhikov, and from modern artists - M. Mitrofanov. The book with drawings by V. Chelak competes with them on equal terms. His transparent watercolor style of drawing creates airiness, his characters are attractive and sometimes simply hilarious, their emotions are absolutely alive, recognizable, human, each character has his own story. The heroes of the fairy tale comfortably settled in the Italian landscapes in which the action develops. They are understandable to children and very dynamic. In addition, this is, of course, a book for true connoisseurs and collectors of high-quality children's illustration.
