Stories of uncle oak. Book 1. Meeting

Under the cover is a special world created with the help of words and imagination. Here, fabulous moments are intertwined with references to real historical personalities and events, literary and musical works.

Grandfather Drus knows many stories and fairy tales. It was he who told Maya and Tau about the ancient magic tree - uncle oak. Once, a brother and sister threw a creature that helped them in trouble. And now they will go to the world of uncle oak to correct their mistake.

In the magical world, everything is possible: the yogurt boy will finally get rid of loneliness, the vanilla girl will find his hand bought by the monster, and the speaking road will lead exactly where necessary. And here you can hear fairy tales of uncle oak and then tell them to each other ...

In the world of uncle oak, you can meet the American poetess Miss Dikinson, the famous violin master of Warneri, Captain Scott, one of the discoverers of the South Pole, as well as literary heroes - Gilgamesh, Ahab. However, the author interpreted their images in his own way, so it is not worth looking for complete similarity.

The book has a lot of references to operas, complex words (names of weapons, musical instruments, rare trees) We gave footnotes, but it will be better if the child himself wants to learn more about one or another word/hero/appearance unfamiliar to him. There are no footnot in the Catalan edition - apparently, the author wanted the reader to show curiosity and independently find out what this or that word means.

The book develops the imagination and gift of the narrator. The author convinces us that a fairy tale can be told literally about everything and that with its help you can solve many problems - in a word, not by force.
