We have long known that nothing stimulates children's imagination better than the world of fairy tales. In your hands is an excellently
written fairy tale about the chess kingdom, which, in addition to educational content, is adorned with great graphic design.
Highly recommended!

Excellent book. Eh, if only it had existed fifty years ago, during my childhood, and if my grandfather
could have given it to me with the chess he gave me for Christmas...
