| Title | Strana horoshih devochek. Kotlantida |
| Description | This volume brings together two fairy-tale adventure stories for children by Anna Starobinets. Their subtle humour is combined with serious reflections on love and meanness, loyalty and cowardice, and on the fact that goodness often comes in unattractive packaging, while evil may be wrapped like a beautiful, glittering gift.
Polya has been behaving badly. The Petrov family would much rather raise a good little girl. On New Year’s Eve, their deepest wish comes true: naughty Polya is left behind in the old year, and the Petrovs are given a new girl instead — polite, tidy, and well behaved. But she is a complete stranger. Meanwhile, the real Polya is sent away for re-education to an impeccably clean, orderly, and terrifying place where children eat only healthy food, love cleaning, and do everything according to a strict schedule. The Land of Good Girls is a kind of dystopia for children. This country cannot be found on any map, and its borders are firmly locked. Only Balbes, a devoted dog, can sniff out the path that leads there. And only Baguette, a heroic ginger cat, can cross the boundary between past and present to save his beloved owner. For Baguette is no ordinary cat: he is descended from the mighty ancient Kotlanteans. In Kotlandis, he must perform another heroic feat — travel into the distant past and obtain a magical Kotlantean flower that once granted cats nine lives. |
