About Aino Pervik<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aino Pervik (since 1961 real name Aino Raud, 22 IV 1932 \u2013 12 VIII 2025) was an Estonian children\u2019s writer, poet and translator.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was born in Rakvere, the daughter of a medical assistant. Her school career began in 1939 at J\u00e4rvakandi, and continued at Tallinn Teachers\u2019 Seminary, Tallinn Teachers\u2019 Institute and Secondary School no. 8 in Tallinn. From 1950 to 1955 she studied in the faculty of history and linguistics at Tartu State University, graduating in Finno-Ugrian languages.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 1955 to 1960 Pervik worked at the Estonian State Publishing House as an editor of children\u2019s and youth literature, and from 1960 to 1967 at Estonian Television as an editor of children\u2019s and youth programmes. Since then she was a professional writer and translator.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wrote over sixty children\u2019s books, and prose and poetry for adults, translated from Hungarian, and was active as a commentator and critic of children\u2019s literature. Since 1974 she was a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aino Pervik\u2019s work is diverse in genre and multifarious in subjects. She wrote factual and imaginary stories, novels for the young, books for infants, parables and other works. Among her best known children\u2019s books are Kunksmoor<\/em> (1973, translated into English in 1986 as \u2018Old Mother Kunks\u2019), Kunksmoor ja kapten Trumm<\/em> (1975, \u2018Old Mother Kunks and Captain Drum\u2019, winner of the Juhan Smuul prize in 1976) and Arabella, merer\u00f6\u00f6vli t\u00fctar<\/em> (1982, translated into English in 1985 as \u2018Arabella, the pirate\u2019s daughter\u2019). Both Kunksmoor<\/em> books also received the 2nd place in The All-Soviet Union contest of children\u2019s books in 1988. Pervik\u2019s fictional works mostly deal with serious problems, but are basically optimistic in tone.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular puppet films were made out of the Kunksmoor stories in 1975 and 1978. The director Peeter Simm made a feature film of Arabella in 1982, one of the classic Estonian films. A full-length feature film (1998) was also made of Pervik\u2019s book Kallis h\u00e4rra Q<\/em> (\u2018Dear Mr. Q\u2019, 1992, winner of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union annual award). Pervik\u2019s works have also been staged in the theatre.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
