Children's fairy tales and their authors list. Famous storytellers

An old man lived with his old woman
By the very blue sea;
They lived in a dilapidated dugout
Exactly thirty years and three years.
The old man was fishing with a net,
The old woman was spinning her yarn.
Once he threw a net into the sea -
The net came with one slime.
He threw a seine another time -
A seine came with sea grass.
For the third time he threw a net -
A seine came with one fish,
With not a simple fish - gold.
How the goldfish will beg!
He says in a human voice:
"Let me go, old man, into the sea!
Dear for myself, I will give a ransom:
I'll buy whatever you want."

Tales of Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak - Twelve months

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

As soon as one month ends, another immediately begins. And it has never happened before that February came before January left, and May would overtake April.

Tale of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky - Aibolit

kind doctor Aibolit!

And a bug, and a worm,
And a bear!

Good Doctor Aibolit!

And the fox came to Aibolit:
"Oh, I got bitten by a wasp!"
And the watchdog came to Aibolit:

And the hare came running
And she screamed: "Ay, ay!
My bunny got hit by a tram!
My bunny, my boy
Got hit by a tram!
He ran down the path
And his legs were cut
And now he's sick and lame
My little hare!"
And Aibolit said:
"Don't worry! Give it here!

Literary author's fairy tale- probably one of the most popular genres of our time. Interest in such works is inexhaustible both among children and among their parents, and Russian writers of fairy tales have made a worthy contribution to the common creative work. It should be remembered that a literary fairy tale is different from folklore on several parameters. First of all, the fact that it has a specific author. There are also differences in the way the material is conveyed and in the clear use of plots and images, allowing one to say that this genre has the right to complete independence.

Poetic Tales of Pushkin

If you make a list of fairy tales by Russian writers, then it will take more than one sheet of paper. Moreover, creations were written not only in prose, but also in verse. Here a prime example can serve A. Pushkin, initially not planning to compose children's works. But after a while, the poetic creations “About Tsar Saltan”, “About the priest and his worker Balda”, “About dead princess and the Seven Bogatyrs”, “About the Golden Cockerel” added to the list of fairy tales of Russian writers. A simple and figurative form of presentation, memorable images, vivid plots - all this is characteristic of the work of the great poet. And these works are still included in the treasury

List continued

Some other, no less famous, can be attributed to the literary tales of the period under consideration. Russian writers of fairy tales: Zhukovsky ("War of mice and frogs"), Ershov ("Humpbacked Horse"), Aksakov (" The Scarlet Flower") - made their worthy contribution to the development of the genre. And the great collector of folklore and interpreter of the Russian language Dal also wrote a certain amount fairy tales. Among them: "Crow", "Girl Snow Maiden", "About the Woodpecker" and others. You can also recall other fairy tales of famous Russian writers: “The Wind and the Sun”, “The Blind Horse”, “The Fox and the Goat” by Ushinsky, “The Black Hen, or Underground inhabitants" Pogorelsky, "The Traveling Frog", "The Tale of the Toad and the Rose" by Garshin, " wild landlord», « wise gudgeon» Saltykov-Shchedrin. Of course, this is not a complete list.

Russian writers of fairy tales

Leo Tolstoy, and Paustovsky, and Mamin-Sibiryak, and Gorky, and many others wrote literary fairy tales. Among the most outstanding works, one can note the “Golden Key” by Alexei Tolstoy. The work was planned as a free retelling of "Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi. But here is the case when the alteration surpassed the original - this is how many Russian-speaking critics evaluate the writer's work. The wooden boy Pinocchio, familiar to everyone from childhood, won the hearts of young readers and their parents for a long time with his spontaneity and brave heart. We all remember Pinocchio's friends: Malvina, Artemon, Pierrot. And his enemies: the evil Karabas and the nasty Duremar, and the fox Alice. Vivid images The characters are so peculiar and original, recognizable, that once you read Tolstoy's work, you remember them for the rest of your life.

Revolutionary tales

These include with confidence the creation of Yuri Olesha "Three Fat Men". In this tale, the author reveals the theme of the class struggle against the background of such eternal values ​​as friendship, mutual assistance; the characters of the heroes are distinguished by courage and revolutionary impulse. And the work of Arkady Gaidar "Malchish-Kibalchish" tells of a difficult period for the formation Soviet state - civil war. The boy is a bright, memorable symbol of that era of struggle for revolutionary ideals. It is no coincidence that these images were later used by other authors, for example, in the work of Joseph Kurlat, who in the fairy tale-poem "The Song of the Malchish-Kibalchish" revived the bright image of the hero.

These authors include those who gave literature such fairy tales-plays as "The Naked King", "Shadow" - based on the works of Andersen. And his original creations "Dragon" and "Ordinary Miracle" (at first banned from productions) forever entered the treasury of Soviet literature.

The poetic works of the genre include the fairy tales of Korney Chukovsky: “Fly-Tsokotukha”, “Moydodyr”, “Barmaley”, “Aibolit”, “Cockroach”. To this day they are the most widely read fairy tales in Russia for children of all ages. Instructive and daring, brave and monstrous images and characters of the heroes are recognizable from the first lines. And the poems of Marshak, and the delightful work of Kharms? And Zakhoder, Moritz and Kurlat? It is impossible to list them all in this rather short article.

Modern evolution of the genre

We can say that the genre literary fairy tale evolved from folklore, in a sense exploiting its plots and images of characters. So at present, many Russian writers of fairy tales are evolving into science fiction writers, giving birth to good works in fashion style fantasy. These authors, probably, include Yemets, Gromyko, Lukyanenko, Fry, Oldie and many others. This is a worthy replacement for previous generations of authors of literary fairy tales.

Despite the fact that Hans Christian Andersen is one of the best storytellers, he had a very bad character. In Denmark, there is a legend about the royal origin of Andersen.

In Denmark, there is a legend about the royal origin of Andersen

This is due to the fact that in an early autobiography the author himself wrote about how, as a child, he played with Prince Frits, later King Frederick VII, and he had no friends among street boys. Only the prince. Andersen's friendship with Frits, according to the storyteller's fantasy, continued into adulthood, until the latter's death, and, according to the writer himself, he was the only one, with the exception of relatives, who was admitted to the coffin of the deceased.

Charles Perrault
