I bought this in Ukraine for my son, but he never read it, so it's brand new. It's a very famous Ukrainian publication with illustrations by a well-known artist. It's a very rare book. The book was published in Ukraine, but the text is in English. This is a unique book for collectors, hard to find, and the illustrations have a very valuable worth.
