The national poetess claims that characters from children’s books send her farewell greetings. The lady refers to them as prisoners in a worn red binding as comrades who have not betrayed her.

The author recalls that after doing the necessary homework, she wanted to immerse herself in the fairy tale world as soon as possible.

The creator says there were flickering lights on the chandeliers at the time. By her own admission, she liked the atmosphere that formed when reading any books inside the living room. Marina Ivanovna writes that from time to time she had to learn about the twists and turns of Tom Sawyer’s fate.

After familiarizing herself with the content of these or other literary works, the young lady had a desire to sink into sleep in the middle of books with the lamp on.

Tsvetaeva calls her childhood a golden time, when the eye was more courageous and the heart was not so polluted.
