This book was inspired by the unique aesthetic atmosphere of the parks of St. Petersburg. The main characters are animals and birds living on Yelagin Island. In addition, the nature of the village of Komarovo, located on the shores of the picturesque Gulf of Finland, had a significant impact on the creation of the story.
The style of the illustrations is largely based on the aesthetics of pencil sketches by Estonian artist Eduard Wiiralt. In addition, author’s video clips dedicated to the nature, history, and art of St. Petersburg will become a significant addition to the book – https://t.me/arthistory_and_nature.
