Mister Twister

The book by the classic of children's literature S. Marshak includes three works united by the themes of travel and Leningrad: the poems "Here's Such a Scatterbrain" and "Post" and the satirical poem "Mister Twister." Readers will meet a resident of Leningrad who constantly found himself in comic situations due to his absent-mindedness, learn about the postmen and how letters were sent on round-the-world journeys, and then see the wealthy and poorly educated Mister Twister, who paid the price for his disdainful attitude towards people. As the poet himself recounted, "Mister Twister" was written based on real events involving an American tourist in Leningrad. The book features illustrations by famous graphic artists, caricaturists, folk artists of the Russian Federation, and honored artists of the RSFSR Anatoly Eliseev and Mikhail Skobelev. For elementary school age children.
