"On a Summer's Day" is the fourth collection of stories about Parkkeeper Willie published by our house. The book includes three new stories, previously unpublished in Russian:
"On a Summer's Day," "The Labyrinth," and "Full Sail."
These cheerful and heartwarming fairy tales about Parkkeeper Willie and his friends are created in the finest traditions of English children's literature. They have been published worldwide for over 30 years, and during this time they have become classics of children's literature, translated into 16 languages, and their combined circulation exceeds 10 million copies!
The main character of these stories, the round-faced, rosy-cheeked Uncle Willie, lives and works in a large old park. He tends the trees, plants flowers, sweeps the paths, and keeps everything neat and tidy. And, of course, he's friends with all his neighbors—animals and birds: the fox, the badger, the owl, the hedgehog, the squirrels, the hares, and the mice.
In each story, one of the animals, or Willy himself, manages to get into a difficult and slightly funny situation, but there's always a way out. The key is to stay positive and keep trying.
The plots and humor of these stories will be accessible even to the youngest readers. Each page features detailed illustrations that will make you want to revisit them. One of the stories comes with an interesting task: help Willy and his friends find their way out of a maze.
