He was born in 1914 on July 23, died on November 23, 1970. Of all the characters invented by the writer, the most popular is Old Lady Baby with a Teapot Spoon, whose stories make up a cycle of stories for the youngest. This sweet grandmother can suddenly turn into a baby, the size of which is no more than a teaspoon. The popularity of this heroine in her homeland is so great that a monument to her stands next to the house-museum of her creator.
Preisen wrote songs, fairy tales and stories for children, worked on radio and television, where he was the host of a children's program, was tireless and always full of new ideas about how to introduce a child to the big world and teach him something good and good. In Russia, one of his fairy tales is well known - "The Goat Who Could Count to Ten", on the basis of which the cartoon of the same name was shot.
