In 1920s Soviet Russia  writer and poet Samuil Marshak and graphic artist Vladimir Lebedev came together to bring the energy and boldness of Russian avant-garde art into childrens publishing. The results of this remarkable collaboration were a series of stunning picture books  four of which are collected and reproduced in full here  newly translated  together in one volume for the first time. The Circus  Ice Cream  How the Plane Made a Plane  and Yesterday and Today are overtly modern and graphically striking. Marshaks joyful rhymes are visually built into Lebedevs illustrations  where figures  objects  and even lettering are simplified into brightly colored geometric shapes. The four stories are a wonderful celebration of modern life  and continue to energize and inspire readers decades after their creation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962832678965,"sku":"ByrdShop_1849761027","price":51.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781849761024.jpg?v=1770397747","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-circus-and-other-stories","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
