Daniil Kharms – Fairy Tale

One of the latest book illustrated by Nikolay Vorontsov is Fairy tale by Daniil Kharms. Daniil was an early Soviet-era surrealist and absurdist poet and writer. He had great influence on modern Russian literature. Beginning in 1970's many of Kharms' children's texts were set to music, and were often heard on the radio.
