Pushkin the storyteller is no less genius than Pushkin the poet and prose writer. His tales are dynamic, the plot is varied, there are no extras, and each scene has a finished form and could well claim to be an independent work of a small literary form.
The genius of the great poet Alexander Pushkin is admired by people of any nationality. His works have been translated into a record number of languages, he is loved, taught, and quoted. His fairy tales are almost more popular with children than poetry. Agree, not everyone can come up with an exciting storyline that holds attention to the last page. Moreover, a fascinating story must be presented in rhyme so that the original idea is not distorted, but, on the contrary, acquires the beauty of the form in which the tale is proposed.
How many fairy tales came from the poet's pen is known for sure - there are seven of them, they were written in nine years - in the period from 1825 to 1834. In the poet's drafts there are still sketches for the works, but it is now very difficult to say exactly how many fairy tales were not destined to see the light of day.
Pushkin's fairy tales - the language, style of presentation, the variety of words and colors. They are devoid of deliberate moralizing morals, on the contrary, every written is easy, simple, with humor.

This is a true bestseller of the past centuries, but the basic principles of relationships are still relevant today. This is a whole kaleidoscope of bright and extraordinary characters, grotesque, but living characters with a whole life story, formation and development.
