BBC Radio 4 - Stories by Teffi, The Hat and My First TolstoySearch BBC

After some neglect, Teffi's popular tales set in Moscow and Paris are being re-published.

Two tales demonstrate that it doesn't pay to worship either the mirror - or an esteemed man of letters. Read by Hattie Morahan.

Two tales that deal crisply with the vanities of fashion and literary homage. Cautionary tales both!

A series of tales by Teffi - a literary star in pre-revolutionary Russia - who's popular work has been re-published. 

Reader: Hattie Morahan

Translated by Anne Marie Jackson. 

Producer: Duncan Minshull

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2015
