Аня и Маня - очень разные девочки! Аня застенчивая, а Маня бойкая. Аня - всегда чистенькая, а Маня - грязнуля. Много ещё у них различий, но главное - Аня и Маня очень дружат. Однажды Аня и Маня вместе с детским садом поехали на дачу. А там... сплошные приключения! Ещё бы - если озорницы решают не ложиться спать, значит, обязательно произойдёт что-то интересное. Например, можно обнаружить в игровой комнате говорящего Ежа, в саду - спустившийся с неба Месяц или самим отправиться в полёт... Необычную и чудесную повесть Елены Сергеевны Вентцель, писавшей под псевдонимом И. Грекова, сопровождают весёлые и живые иллюстрации Леонида Гамарца.
05 April '23 And yet again I've had a magical time with this one and loved it even more! :)
11 March '24 I wish this story were much longer. Nonetheless, it's always fun to yet again be part of these little girls' night magical adventures and a pleasure to look at Gennadiy Epishin's magical illustrations!
10 December '21 Волшебная история. Волшебные иллюстрации Епишина. 💗
This illustration of the girls and the Moon is the one that more vividly seared itself into my brain and helped me eventually to find this book! I recently came across an image by a different illustrator that rang a bell (two little girls and the half-moon by Leonid Gamartz) and made me think that I, at long last, might have found my long lost book without a name! :) I was 10 years old when I found this book in the attic of the house my parents were renting. Its cover, the first page and the last one were missing. I have no idea who it was written by, and what the name of the title was I could only guess... I've tried searching for it since and couldn't find it. I didn't remember the names of the characters or where the story was taking place but I did remember part of the plot. A tiny bit actually - two little girls having fun while taking their walks at night, and one of those nights them meeting the Moon lying in the grass. And that was all... :D I so loved their fun adventures and always them having a cozy place to return to. That copy wasn't mine (obviously :) so I couldn't take it with me, and it was out of print for quite some time - and that probably was the reason my searches kept giving negative results... Until just recently! Yay!
