Short biography

Writer Sergei Mikhailovich Belousov was born in 1950 in the city of Novosibirsk. Even at the age of 5-6, the boy decided that he would become a writer. He learned to read early and it became his favorite pastime.

But fate had its own way. The realities of that time required a profession, and it was impossible to earn a living by writing. Therefore, Sergey graduated from the Electrotechnical Institute in his hometown and worked at large enterprises - he was engaged in the creation of automatic control systems.

But the writer's daughters changed everything - at that time they were children. It was their actions, characters and various situations that prompted Belousov to create a children's book.

The prototype of the protagonist of the book, and then of the whole series, was a friend of his daughters - Lyonka. The girls themselves were also written into the main storyline. It was they who helped dad write these wonderful works. So, in 1992, the first book of the series "Along the Rainbow, or Pechenyushkin's Adventures" appeared.

Then the second came out - "Death Pot". The third book appeared in 1996. It was called "Heart of the Dragon".
