The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

How could I have failed to pick up the order and consider the book closer, for the order flew like on wings, has already started viewing illustrations in the elevator, rising home. I wanted this book so much with the illustrations of Birmingham, because the collection of fairy tales Andersen with his illustrations I missed, to my great chagrin. The book is small, color colored and black and white, very beautiful, but the publisher can not not accumulate and some illustrations are very dark and can hardly disassemble that they are painted on them, they do not really focus on them, but I also have a long time and I consider good illustrations for a long time. I confess, the book has never read before, just watched the film. But after reading only a few pages, I realized that the book was carried away and I don"t want to stop, but read, read ... It doesn"t always happen, sometimes it is necessary to force yourself, reading the introduction until everything falls into place and the book finally will be in - Indeed. And in this book, the text is lightweight and read in one breath, thanks to the excellent translation of Galina Ostrovskaya. The font is quite large with a good interval interval, children will be convenient to read independently. Nitgledtles did not meet, although once noticed the word transfer by syllables to the next page, which is not very convenient for reading the children, but this is such a trifle, compared to the fact that the publishers sometimes get out.
From the work I am in full delight, and how harmoniously fit illustrations of Birmingham to the text, such joy from reading the book I have not experienced a long time ago, from recently I only shook the book of Bembby with the illustrations of Mitrofanov, hooked for living. Definitely the book "Leo, witch and wardrobe" be in the home library !!!
