How Tasia lived

Maria Tolmacheva began to write already in adulthood, when she moved from Nizhny Novgorod to St. Petersburg and began to visit the literary evenings arranged by the publishers of the Children"s Magazine Tropka. There she made friends with the mother of Alexander Blok, and later began to communicate with him. The story “How Tasia lived”, published in 1913, immediately attracted the attention of the reading public to Maria Tolmacheva. After the revolution, she continued to write for children, while working in preschool institutions. The writer in the besieged Leningrad died, leaving many generations of readers about touching stories about little heroes.
