The famous fairy tale "The Flying trunk" by H.C. Andersen is about the son of a rich merchant who squandered almost all the inheritance he inherited from his father. One of his former friends gave him a trunk. It turned out to be magical, as it could fly, and the merchant's son went to the land of Turks on it. He settled in the forest, and after learning that a beautiful princess lived in the city, to whom no one was allowed, he flew to her. And since the guy was a storyteller, he captivated the princess and her parents with his stories.

This fairy tale will acquaint the little reader with the contrast of what’s natural and artificial, what occurs in nature, and what is made by man, and how the beauty of the former can be superior to the latter. This is conveyed through a mechanical bird and a real nightingale. The abilities of the artificial bird consist in resembling the sound of an organ barrel and playing a melodic tune, but it is the living sound of the nightingale that saves the emperor and fends off death when he is at his most difficult hour, all thewhile the mechanical clockwork of the artificial bird remains silent.

The Tinderbox is a tale about a brave, lucky soldier who managed to deceive a terrible witch, escape execution, and marry a beautiful princess.

But note that the main character can also be called frivolous and cruel. The illustrations of the talented artist Igor Oleynikov only emphasize the duality of the character of our soldier.
