About the book: 1972 / You will learn from this book about the life of an old, pre-revolutionary village, about the boy Antoshka, who wanted to become a crane so that he could be in the summer free from work; you will also learn about how tenderly and carefully a peasant family raises a horse named Dichok, an assistant in hard peasant labor. You will read about the life of the author of these stories, Sergei Terentyevich Semyonov, about how he became a writer in a short note addressed to you - that’s what it’s called for readers.
