Leningrad in the blockade. The house where Tanya, Shurka and Bob were bombed the remaining without parents. It is good that Aunt Vera has a key to another apartment. But the winter is approaching, and for some reason the stomach hurts all the time, the new neighbors disappear one by one, there is still no faith and no, and then Tanya lost bread cards ... The long empty city seems to hunt for those who are still alive and and Those who are not called alive come to life.
Trying to be saved, the children fall into Tuonel - the world where time has stopped and other laws act. To get out of there, Tanya, Shurke and even a small bob, you will have to make a choice - otherwise they will be overtaken by a gray person in a creaky cart.

The second of the five "Leningrad fairy tales" Yulia Yakovleva, the continuation of "children of the raven"
The greatest, along with the Holocaust, the humanitarian catastrophe of the twentieth century - the blockade seems to be a risky background for the children"s story. But the terrible one is somehow surprisingly well combined by Yulia Yakovleva with touching and even funny. The combination known to us by "Lenka Panteleeva", "RVS", "Tashkent is the city of bread."
Lev Lurie,
historian, writer, author of the book "Leningrad Front"
There are terrible fairy tales, and the “stolen city” is a fearless fairy tale. Nikolai Chukovsky wrote to his father that only the grotesque could tell about what was happening in the besieged Leningrad. Yulia Yakovleva managed to break through the genre blockade around this topic. Her fairy tale is a desperate grotesque, a mixture of sleep and reality, fear and repentance, genre schemes of the Soviet adventure literature and psychological injuries of each child who grew up in Leningrad.
Karina Dobravoskaya,
media manager, writer, author of the Blockade Girls" book
Inventively invented and brilliantly written. The turning years of our history were seen by the eyes of children. The author skillfully lures the reader in partially invented by her, the partially reconstructed world of the terrible Petersburg fairy tale of 1941.
Elena Gremina,
playwright
The books of Yulia Yakovleva help children understand that their grandfathers and grandmothers survived when they were children - and allow adults to see the terrible story of the twentieth century, as if they were children. The blockade ring here turns out to be evil witchcraft, and this interweaving of the tragic and fabulous touches to tears.
