"Masters of Fairies"

It's a story about fairies, dwarves, gnomes and trolls, but a goblin sneaks in here and there, and goblins are always accompanied by other magical creatures. Everyone lives in a world with seventy-seven small moons and singing water fountains, which is located at 77 Pottery Street. An old lady still lives there, and next to her workshop stands the large factory of young Mr. Beshkov. The young Mr. Beshkov is tormented by a secret passion because he desperately wants to become a Master of small, model-like fairies. And so, on an eggplant-purple evening, the miracle happens.

Description

Pottery Street is the street at the end of town. Where there are already only enormous factories. And all the enormous factories look so alike that they could easily be - one tremendous factory. All of them? Well, well… not all of them! Miss Elsa's workshop is also cuddled between the factories. The old lady still lives here. And next to the workshop stands the large factory of the young Mr. Beshkov. With the intervention of an evil magician, Mr. Beshkov turns into a little femme fatale. The fairy Beshko enters the workshop of old Miss Elsa and the adventures in the World of Fairies begin. Love, fights and new friendships help Beshko to achieve his goal and even answer the question: When can we call something we've worked on art and when can't we?

    Wow...

    I hadn't read a children's book in a long, long time. "The Wizard of Oz" has been stalking me for a year, but I keep putting it off and finding reasons not to read it, but I can't get away from children's books, and the first one I happily started was Vesela Flamburari's "Masters of Fairies".

    Wonders never end, I would say after closing the last page. If you haven't read a book by Vesela Flamburari, make up for it immediately! And I'm not just addressing the children. The worlds in her books are truly magical and there are no limits for them. "Masters of Fairies" ("Upper earth books, 2017) is a children's book, but if you think about it, you realize that it is intended for all readers, without age restrictions.

    The main driver of the project [Upper Earth Books] is Vesela Flamburari, herself also a talented writer, but due to culture and upbringing I have not noticed her beating the drum for her skills, as is fashionable in our country. That's why her book "Masters of Fairies" surprised me. I was expecting something sweet in the style of Suncho, and what I got was a great tale that works for both young and old, with a bit of Tolkien, a bit of Tove Jansson and a lot of Andersen, all mixed up in such a way that, that in the end you get Vesela Flamburari.

    I remember those special childhood times when my imagination knew no bounds and saw worlds in every peculiar pixelated pattern on the wallpaper (yes, yes, it was fashionable), in every strange stitch on the carpet or not particularly well-made seam on a garment, as I atropomorphized almost every gathering of shadows and colors into good fairies, evil wizards and brave princess and princesses seeking their true path and destiny. I've written a series in my mind that probably rivals the Encyclopedia Britannica in volume, and it wasn't until I came across Pratchett's Carpet People that I realized I wasn't alone in this Gulliver-esque adventure, and it was more of us seeing parallel worlds peeking behind the sprig of geranium on the terrace. Or in the strawberry beds of a special garden...

    It is not easy for a person to read a good story and then be silent, instead of running ecstatically to tell the world fresh impressions of his new book discovery. And why would you be silent? Well, because for some reviews it's worth waiting for the right moment, and what better time than the author's birthday!
