English-language illustrated edition published by Raduga Publishers, Moscow, 1985.
A beautiful large-format collection of Pushkin’s famous fairy tales, illustrated by Vladimir Konashevich, one of the most celebrated Russian and Soviet illustrators of children’s literature.
A special feature of this edition is its complete artistic design: Konashevich’s illustrations, decorative elements, headpieces and ornaments are integrated throughout the text rather than simply reproduced as separate plates. The result is a richly designed book in the tradition of classic Russian book illustration.

The book is in very good condition and appears to have seen very little use, possibly spending most of its life on a shelf. Clean and attractive throughout. Please see photos for details.
A wonderful collectible edition for admirers of Pushkin, Vladimir Konashevich, Soviet book illustration and classic children’s literature. Its excellent condition also makes it suitable as a beautiful vintage gift.
