"The White Guard" is the first major work of Mikhail Bulgakov, author of "The Master and Margarita", and is the only one of his novels to be even part-published during his lifetime. Drawing closely on Bulgakov`s experiences of the horrors of civil war, the book opens in 1918, in the German-occupied city of Kiev. Petlyura`s Socialists are camped outside awaiting their moment while the Bolsheviks watch, contemplating their buried armaments. This is a time of revolution and turmoil, a time of waiting and uncertainly. Here we meet the Turbin family, and watch as each member of this extraordinarily resilient and proud group of people makes his or her choice and is forced, one way or another, to come to terms with the new regime.

In the tick-tock quiet, a shaft of moonlight tickles the nose of something sleeping. It`s a stuffed, stripy horse. He twitches. Then an enormous dusty sneeze echoes round the room. He`s awake. So begins this charming story, all about a forgotten toy who can`t remember his name. He is befriended by Muriel (a hummingbird who flutters off the pattern on a lamp), Hermann (a daft draught excluder), and Wedgie and Woodie (penguin-shaped salt and pepper shakers), and embarks on an adventure to meet Ming, a wise and ancient Chinese vase cat, who is the only person in the shop who might be able to tell him who he is. Thrills, spills, and some seriously silly situations await him on his adventure.
