Illustrated by Takács Ildikó Beáta
Alinea Publ. House, Budapest, 2005
72 p. with 24 illustrations
In this true story-based fairy novelette, a boy becomes conscious that miracles not only exist in fairy-tales, but in forests as well. Marvelling at the new revelations, he admires chicks peeping out of their eggs, gets to know the nesting titmouse family, the wild-boar with many young and more. Meanwhile he falls in love with untouched nature and realizes that nature?s values should be appreciated.
As a grandfather many times over, the author contends that children should be treated as intelligent beings. They won?t be satisfied forever with the babbling of burbles and should be kept from the horror which the world of tales is flooded with.
