Gymnasium student Tomek Wilmovsky lives in the family of his maternal aunt Janina - the boy's mother has died and his disgraced father was forced to go abroad two years earlier. Fourteen-year-old Tomek dreams of traveling, devoting almost all his free time to reading books about other continents and countries. Suddenly, shortly before the end of the school year, an unexpected guest appears on his aunt's doorstep, an extravagant fur trapper and traveler named Jan Smuga. He tells Tomek about his father, who longs for his son, and about Gagenbeck's firm, which catches wild animals for zoos. So Tomek receives an invitation to join an expedition to Australia and, of course, without a second thought, happily accepts. And what boy in his place would do otherwise...? Exciting adventures, which he has long dreamed of, are close at hand! More than one generation of young book lovers has grown up on the stories about the fearless Tomek Wilmowski, which came out from under the pen of Polish writer Alfred Szklarski. Before you is the first novel in this series - "Tomek in the Land of Kangaroos", the translation of which has been newly verified and supplemented with interesting and informative popular science references. Wonderful illustrations for the book were created by artist Vladimir Kanivets.
