“Erich Heinemann’s fairy tales with wonderful retro pictures will take the child into a small fictional universe where everything is like people - there are villains and heroes, tricksters and good guys, where not everything is perfect, but evil and injustice will definitely be punished,” - editor of Clever.
A collection of four magical tales "Visiting the Gnomes and Other Stories" is a time-tested classic that teaches kindness, honesty, hard work, enterprise, and mutual assistance. These stories will take the little reader to a wonderful world inhabited by generous gnomes, and animals and insects who are friends and talk.
The kind gnome Tully lives in the middle of a meadow, huge as a real city. One day Tully wondered: how will the meadow dwellers survive another winter? And he decided to open a hotel for them. He has many helpers: the mole Digger and a team of ants build a spacious building, the mouse Roundtail cooks food and makes up the menu. Tully will face a flood due to a thunderstorm and will make an envious enemy. But friends will help to cope with all the failures. Together they will prepare for a long winter and celebrate Christmas in warmth and prosperity.
And what happened in the fairy tales “Seven Spots”, “Visiting the Dwarves” and “The Garden Partnership of the Hedgehog Prickle” you will find out from the book.
"Visiting the Gnomes and Other Stories" are not only fascinating, but also truly useful fairy tales. They teach that good wins, and evil, cunning and treachery must be punished. Despite the fantastic nature of these stories, the situations in which the characters find themselves are very similar to real life.
