The magical story "The Black Hen, or the Underground Dwellers" has long ago entered the golden fund of Russian children's literature and has endured dozens of reprints in different languages of the world. Antoni Pogorelsky wrote this tale in 1829 for his ten-year-old nephew Alyosha. The boy grew up and became famous as a poet and playwright Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy. The hero of the story, who is also named Alyosha, is often lonely. But one day he has an unusual friend - a black hen. And one day Alyosha learns that his kind Chernushka is a powerful minister in the fabulous underworld! Now the boy's life has everything he dreamed of: mysteries, wonders, adventures... But will Alyosha be able to remain faithful to his friendship and keep his word? The main test lies ahead! In this edition, the narrative and illustrations form a rare harmonious unity. St. Petersburg artist Mikhail Bychkov is a true professional, a talented and enthusiastic person. Thanks to him, the fantastic underground world and the realities of St. Petersburg of the distant XVIII century take on a new life.
