A new edition of the classic girl’s story, published in 1929, with unexpectedly modern illustrations by Pyotr Perevezentsev. The talent of Lydia Budogoskaya was highly appreciated by Samuil Marshak, and he gave the aspiring writer the idea to write a book for girls. Despite the fact that the action takes place before the revolution and the heroine, red-haired Eva Kühn, goes to a gymnasium, Soviet schoolgirls greeted the book enthusiastically. The topics covered in it will be close to today’s teenagers: being different from others, awkwardness and a desire to please, difficult relationships with family, first love.
AUGUST, 220 p.
