"Daddy Starling, Mummy starling and Baby Starling" written by Vasily Khmelnitsky and illustrated by Boris Lapshin in 1989. Excuse my frivolous translation of the title from Russian. Lapshin has created strange, dreamy world in this little book of short stories. #soviet#sovietart

You have probably heard about dinosaurs? But they haven't heard about you. Why? Because they were so big, that the trees were for them like bushes,mountains like hills and seas like lakes but they didn't notice puddles. They didn't notice them until they caught flue and died away

"Sounds of the Earth" by Ivan Sokolov-Mikitov and illustrated by Nikita Charushin in 1978. He shared the love and talent of illustrating animals like his father Yevgeny Charushin. #Sovietart #FairyTaleTuesday

"Golden Leaves" written by Rachel Engel and illustrated by Sophia Vishenvetskaya and Elena Fradkina in 1927. Both artists were stage designers and worked a lot together. It feels already like autumn here, in anticipation of brilliant colours I am posting this book... #soviet

'Pischik's Songs' written by Nikolai Aseev and illustrated by Bronislav Malachovsky and Pyotr Snopkov in 1925. The beautiful ginger cat is too lazy to chase mice, he likes to look at the amazing shadow of his wonderful whiskers and read books.
Malakhovsky took up this project as a student, he was the first to illustrate the "Golden Key" by Alexey Tolstoy and he drew cartoons for the"Crocodile". Bronislav Malakhovsky lived only 34 years: he was accused of espionage (because he was Polish) and was executed. #Caturday
Pyotr Snopkov was a scenographer & illustrator. There is little information about him - he was arrested and died in the camp. He is often remembered for: he beat Daniil Kharms in the competition for the heart of the artist Alice Poret and even briefly became her husband.#caturday
"How the Sky Fell" written by Nikolai Zilov and illustrated by Boris Pokrovsky in 1923. The beautiful etched images looks so good in two-colour scheme. #soviet#sovietart
