"The Wonder Tree" written by Korney Chukovsky and illustrated by Vladimir Konashevich in 1926. I really like the more "simple" style of Konashevich from the 1920's and book covers are incredibly stricking. #soviet#sovietart

"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

🍬🍬🍬 Soviet Child's obsession with sweets continues! Chocolates and marmalade from the 1950's #soviet product catalogue. The Little Red Riding Hood chocolates you can still buy in the original wrappers, you can see her in the top middle of the picture on a yellow background.
I hope the wolf didn't eat the chocolate as chocolate is bad for dogs
