In the abandoned garden of a manor house, in a burdock forest, lives a couple of elderly snails of a foreign breed. All their lives they dreamed of only one thing - to be boiled and lie on a silver plate. What this meant, they did not know - they only heard that it was very aristocratic. They did not have children of their own, and they adopted a son from ordinary, simple snails - and over time, a bride was found to match him. The young family no longer dreams of a silver plate - after all, they have everything for a happy life in this wonderful world!
The book is illustrated with colorful, atmospheric drawings by Dina Leonova.
