FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Ice cream, Strawberry, Peppermint, Lime,Step this way and stand in line!"In 1920s Soviet Russia, writer and poet Samuil Marshak and graphic artist Vladimir Lebedev came together to bring the energy and boldness of Russian avant-garde art into childrens publishing. The results of this remarkable collaboration were a series of stunning picture books, four of which are collected and reproduced in full here, newly translated, together in one volume for the first time.The Circus, Ice Cream, How the Plane Made a Plane, and Yesterday and Today are overtly modern and graphically striking. Marshaks joyful rhymes are visually built into Lebedevs illustrations, where figures, objects, and even lettering are simplified into brightly colored geometric shapes. The four stories are a wonderful celebration of modern life, and continue to energize and inspire readers decades after their creation. Notes Includes four of Marshaks tales, now available in brand new translations: The Circus, Ice Cream, Yesterday & Today and How The Plane Made a Plane, all fabulously illustrated by Vladimir Lebedev. These four stories were originally published in the Soviet Union between 1925 and 1927 and were inspired by the idea that the book is an important cultural object in its own right. Ages: 3-5yrs.
