13 Hours and Other Amazing Stories

If a famous jester starts writing fairy tales, what will they be like? Of course, funny. But not only. James Thurber (1894-1961), a writer and cartoonist, one of the creators of modern American humor, composed magical stories all his life... - and entered world literature also as a storyteller. His Evil is capable of frightening, Good can empathize and laugh at itself, and the plots are always wonderful and unpredictable. The duke with an icy heart kidnaps the princess, feeds her rescuers to geese, and nearly kills Time itself. But the warm hands of the captive can thaw the frozen clock hands - if the Prince of patches and rags can break the spell on her. The invaders attempt to destroy everything on the island of Oro that has the letter "o" in its name: love and carrots, wheels and poetry, hippos and unicorns. But the magnificent O will stand up for itself - if people are not afraid to say the word "freedom".
