Rubbed edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tender and luminous work of autobiographical fiction, Nikita's Childhood chronicles the sun-drenched days of a young boy growing up on a Russian country estate at the turn of the twentieth century. Alexei Tolstoy draws from his own early memories to paint a vivid portrait of childhood wonder, presenting the world entirely through Nikita's curious, imaginative eyes — from the mysteries of a frozen winter garden to the warm bustle of a household alive with servants, animals, and seasonal rituals. The narrative unfolds with a gentle, lyrical tone that captures the fleeting magic of youth, illustrating how ordinary moments — a first snowfall, a beloved toy, a summer afternoon — become the defining textures of a life. Tolstoy's prose is warm and unhurried, suffused with a nostalgic tenderness that places it firmly in the tradition of classic Russian literature celebrating the innocence of childhood. Beloved by generations of Russian readers and cherished as a masterpiece of children's literature, it remains a deeply moving meditation on memory, home, and the passage of time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826031210715,"sku":"2026200006325-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/43da7472-0f4e-4d31-b4af-49695e240b21.png?v=1780311210","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006325-secondhand-nikitas-childhood","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
