Vladimir Gandelsman is well known to serious readers of contemporary Russian literature and poetry. As a dissident under the Soviet regime, his published output was largely limited to underground samizdat material circulated in secret, but the collapse of the USSR brought him the larger recognition he deserved. In 1992, eminent Russian poet Josef Brodsky’s high praise for Gandelsman led to a US publishing contract.

"Doctor Seuss is the most famous American children’s author."
— Korney Chukovsky

Following the release of "The Cat in the Hat", Dr. Seuss became the most highly paid children’s writer in American history. His 59 books, translated into 20 languages, have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. Kurly-Murly is currently publishing the first three of what we hope to be a long series of translations of the works of Dr. Seuss into Russian.
