Пафнутий
Давно известно, что для детей надо писать так же, как для взрослых, только лучше. Впервые на русском языке публикуется единственная детская книга Иоанны Хмелевской `Пафнутий`. Но мы уверены, что эту книгу прочтет читатель любого возраста, полюбивший прозу Хмелевской. Ведь `Пафнутий` написан в той же, лишь Хмелевской присущей манере: точность и меткость языковых характеристик сочетаются с тонкой иронией и юмором И хотя герои книги в основном - лесные жители, каждый из них - яркий образ с индивидуальными чертами. В книге много радости, силы и свежести. Она гуманна по духу и очень своевременна.

It's such a cute, charming book for children about a group of forest animals and their adventures, I simply love it. Five stars.
