    Бажов жутковатый?... Хмм, да не сказала бы. В детстве очень любила "Серебряное копытце", у нас диафильм был. Вот братья Гримм -- это да, жжжуть. :roll: Андерсен тоже печальный, ну да в этом его...

  7. Sticky: Re: a question about russian kids and their knowledge

    Though the question is not addressed to me... I absolutely love "The Little Prince" now because it's very deep/profound. In fact, it's so deep, I'm not sure I understand all of it even now as a...

  11. Sticky: Re: a question about russian kids and their knowledge

    There are a lot of Russian children's authors that haven't been mentioned yet. Some of them are more popular than others. Quite a lot of them wrote in Soviet times. It just so happens that it is...
  12. Sticky: Re: a question about russian kids and their knowledge

    I had "The Little Prince" on my bookshelf but I didn't understand it as a child and therefore didn't like it. Only as an adult I was able to appreciate it and I know other people with the same...
  13. Sticky: Re: a question about russian kids and their knowledge

    I don't see how Russian children would be any different from their English/American counterparts when it comes to understanding Harry Potter... 10-11 years must be all right for the first books....
