Makhov, Alexander (illustrator). Hardcover with printed boards, 22cms x 17cms 136 pages Korolenko spent about 13 years altogether on 'The Blind Musician', which was to become one of his most famous works - it was published fifteen times during his lifetime, and he revised every edition. "The material came from the reminiscences of a little girl, blind since birth, whom I had known in childhood; from my observations of a boy who was my pupil and who was gradually losing his sight, and, finally, from my studies of a blind man who was intellectually mature, educated, and also a musician by profession," Korolenko recalled. Book in VERY GOOD condition.
