Translated by Richard Pevear.
Illustrated by
Marc Rosenthal.
Fifty years after its first publication in the Soviet Union by a popular Russian writer and publisher for children and now translated by a respected translator of Gogol and Dostoevsky, here is a nonsense verse about a character whose comically exaggerated behavior invokes the proverbial absent-minded professor. The silly events are much extended by retro, cartoon-style illustrations recalling Orphan Annie and the Katzenjammer Kids, among others.
