вроде - like, such as

сказочника - gen. of сказочник - man who tells fairy tales or liar.

средне (where have i heard this before) - not good not bad, something between.
прадедушка - father of grandpa
cвинка - piggy, mumps
ливень - very strong rain
передо = перед
лесна - ?????

лесна

maybe весна - spring?
or лестно - flattered

лесна
Я так полагаю это ЛЕСНАЯ. Прилагательное от слова лес(forest).

Wow, that's really good, Dogboy! Which version are you reading? Didn't Tolstoj and Nabokov render some of the Western fairytales into their own language? Maybe I should buy it.

Actually, I joined on the 29th of july. Oh, and my avatar doesn't work.

Why? We all know you are the forum's long-liver!!! A native of masterrissian.com

i think it is the original lewis carroll version... because that's the only name i see

"Lewis carroll, alice's wonderland adventure" London, 1865.

Then below it i think is the name of the guy who tranlated it and drew the pictures. because there are no other names.

When i first picked up the book, i picked it up because it was old and brown, and from time to time, i like to pick up big ugly boring books, and skim through them, to remind myself why i am glad that i'm not reading it ! and i looked at the cover, and i read

Алиса, в стране чудес !

i knew it was about "Alice in some land", but i didn't make the connection untill i got in the car and actually READ the cover ! i was like OMG alice(alisa) in wonerland !? crap ! i assumed there would be some huge big crazy mystical majical words i wouldn't understand, but it's been pretty good so far.

On the word "сказочник", i had actually learned this word like last march, and i tried to call several people this, and no one understood. they claimed it wasn't even a word. so, i take it, this word is not widely used ? only in fairy tales i suppose.

lastely... does anyone know where the lyrics are ?!?!

No, it is commonly used. "No one" of Russians understood? Can't believe; may be you pronounced it wrong. Not an easy word in this sense.

"Сказочник" is one of the friendly ways to say "liar", without much offence
