PLAY Samuel Marshak & Alexei Pakhomov An unusual 1944 wartime translation of a 1930s Russian Children’s Book illustrated by Pakhamov with verses by Marshak. It’s the sad story of a ball that bounces away, chased, but ends up squashed under the wheels of a van. (we’ve all been there!). It was published by Perry Colour Books, in the Puffin Picture Book format, as part of the pro-Russia campaign here following the invasion by the Nazis and their heroic struggles at the siege of Leningrad. #play #bouncingball #wheelsofthevan #marshak #russianchildrensbook #propaganda #tanksforrussia #ww2 #puffinpicturebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQJEd4gpsm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cpia7ryl1m29
