Alexander Volkov is one of the most beloved children's authors in our country, a translator, and a playwright. Once, when he began translating Frank Baum's fairy tale "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," Volkov discovered that he had written his own fairy tale, "The Wizard of the Emerald City." When he started receiving many letters from young readers asking him to write a sequel, five more books about the adventures of Ellie and her friends in the Magic Land came into being – books about true friendship capable of working wonders.
This book contains all six fairy tales about the adventures of Ellie and her friends in the Magic Land: "The Wizard of the Emerald City," "Urfin Jus and His Wooden Soldiers," "The Seven Underground Kings," "The Fiery God of the Marranos," "The Yellow Fog," and "The Secret of the Abandoned Castle."
