Для каждого из нас сказка это в первую очередь воспоминания связанные с детством, с чем-то глубоко личным: с голосом мамы или бабушки, с виниловыми пластинками с записями любимых сказок, с первыми эмоциями и переживаниями: радостью, горем, гневом.

It is written in clear, sparse language that both nourishes and challenges your thinking about your relationship with the eternal, and how that relationship shapes your everyday decisions. Listeners are plentiful; thinkers are rare.
