As well as translating directly from the original text, he also added new content to make it easier for Russian children to understand. Zakhoder did publish his own works for children but he was mainly celebrated (and awarded the Russian state prize) for his translations which also included Winnie-the-Pooh and Mary Poppins.

Doublets, a Word-Puzzle.

London: Macmillan and Co., 1879. FIRST EDITION. 1 volume, original publisher's blind stamped red cloth over card, title gilt to front cover, inner and outer hinges fine, Harry Elkins Widner's copy with his bookplate on the front pastedown. It was first called "Word Links", but the word "doublets" was in use from the first. It consists in connecting two doublets (words with the same number of letters, usually 3, 4, or 5) by links in which each word differs from the preceding one by one single letter only, as HEAD, heal, teal, tell, tall, TAIL. The chain in which there are fewest links gains the highest marks. The game became very popular in private circles.
