There is a story by Nina Gabrielyan called %26quot;The Lilac Dressing Gown%26quot;
http://www.russianpress.com/glas/glas%20...
%26quot;Nina Gabrielyan, born in 1953, an Armenian living in Moscow, writes poetry and prose in beautiful Russian. She is a famous activist in the emerging feminist movement in Russia.
Typically for this author, in her story %26quot;The Lilac Dressing Gown%26quot; an intense young girl takes refuge in her imagination and never more effectively than when she sneaks into her mother%26#039;s wardrobe and puts on her lilac dressing gown.
%26quot;The reader is immediately infected with Gabrielyan%26#039;s happy amazement at the wonders of the world which she sees everywhere. Moving from the real into the surreal she invites the reader to accompany her into these two realities, which eventually turn out to be one and the same where the magic and the mundane merge, a reality that may at times be tragic and ridiculous but is invariably exciting.%26quot;
Is there a book called%26#039;The lilac Dressing Gown%26#039; or some other variation of that title? Any book?
Theres a Lilac Fairy Book...actually a series with other colors too. i remember reading them as a child
