Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (Alvin Schwartz, ill. Stephen Gammell) "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a collection of short stories, written for children. The stories themselves are pretty standard stories that are just spooky enough for kids, but the illustrations are what most people remember. Each story is accompanied by a picture that are still unnerving to look at as adults, let alone as kids. Growing up with this book, it felt like a test of bravery just to turn the page. It reminds me a lot of the Season 4 TMA episode, in Callum Brodie's domain - an avatar of The Dark planting images of monsters in kids' heads and letting their imaginations do the rest of the work in scaring them."
Stolen Sun (Korney Chukovsky) "A Russian children's poem that narrates how the crocodile consumed the Sun and how the bear gave him a proper pummeling and forced him to release the star back into the sky. No, it doesn't make sense in context either, but it does take on the motifs of Slavic myths about a dragon stealing the Sun and imprisoning it for thirty-three years, cueing global night and cold."

If you snatched the prey from the claws of a predator–this quite simply meant that you had dug an abyss under your own feet.
— Korney Chukovsky, The Poet and the Hangman (Nekrasov and Muravyov), transl by R. W. Rotsel, (1977)

I was in Peredelkino on the weekend. Peredelkino is essentially a writers' village - it was created in 1933 to provide dachas (summer houses) for Soviet writers. It had around 30 wooden houses, a hotel, a Writers' Club, a library and a canteen. Most of the wooden buildings are lost to time, unfortunately. The first picture shows one of the two houses that lived (so pretty!) The canteen is in the basement of the Club and fully intact! We had lunch there and I was ecstatic to see they had one of the penguin podstakanniks and of course I had to ask for it! What a treasure!
Normally writers got 3-week all-expense-paid stays in Peredelkino, but some of the more outstanding ones had a chance to occupy a house (or half house) and live there with their families until the death of the writer.
There are 4 memorial houses (museums) in Peredelkino: Kornei Chukovsky, Boris Pasternak, Bulat Okudzhava and Yevgeny Yevtushenko.
A lot (and I mean, a lot) of famous authors and poets stayed in Peredelkino at some point. It's a place so full of history it's almost palpable. I'm definitely going back one day, so much yet to discover.

He struts and rubs his yellow tummy As he orders every Mummie: “Bring your little ones to me. I shall take them with my tea, Or eat them up at supper!”
