Irina Trukhina and "Only children's books"

Irina Trukhina - a figure that is quite noticeable in the domestic segment of the Internet, whose name is closely connected with literature, and the literature of the children's. Her reviews of this or that children's book can be found both on the pages of online stores under the appropriate publications, and "centralized" in her "Live Journal." In any of these places, in addition to recall, you can also find a dozen or two photos of the book. Although, as she herself admits, books are bought, mainly for themselves, in their collection, and so the emphasis is not so much on the artistic value of the text as on the artistic value of the design of a particular publication.

What do we know about Irina?

Very little is known about the biography of Irina Trukhina. Born in January 1966 in Moscow, has an adult son and a small grandson. This, perhaps, is all that can be said about Irina's language of dry facts.

Only children's books

"Only children's books" is part of Irina's blog's title in LiveJournal, where she collects all her reviews from various pages of the online store. The full name of this most interesting blog is a line from the poem of Osip Mandelstam. And it sounds like this: " Only children's books are read, only children's thoughts are cherished ".

Irina's blog can be read as a sequential, according to the records, while viewing a variety of works of printed art, and refer to the list of works highlighted at the top of the blog. Children's books by Irina Trukhina are sorted or by product (if it is a question of such significant phenomena in children's literature as Peter Pan or Timur and his team), or by the author (if the books of this writer are often found among records). Also there were collections on narrower topics, for example, "winter books", "books about the school," books about the Great Patriotic War, and book collections timed to a holiday.

For example, there is a collection dedicated to five different editions of the work of Y. Olesha "Three Fat Men". Illustrations of these books are very different in style, which, in many ways, determined their purchase in the collection, since Irina herself, as she said, does not like the fairy tale and, while writing reviews, always remembers a phrase that describes her feelings very accurately when buying the next edition Olesha: "I have eight tablespoons of sugar in my tea and stir it, I do not like sweet things." But, nevertheless, fifteen pieces are sitting on her shelf. As well as it is necessary - on three on the book.
