Once upon a summer noon

«Once upon a summer noon» — the fourth collection of stories about the park keeper Willy. The book includes three new stories that have not been published in Russian before: «Once upon a summer noon», «Maze», «At full sails».
Funny and kind fairy tales about the caretaker Willy and his friends are created in the best traditions of English children's literature. They have been published worldwide for over 30 years, and during this time have become classics of children's literature, translated into 16 languages, with total circulation exceeding
10 million copies!
The main character of these stories — round-faced, rosy-cheeked good-natured Uncle Willy — lives and works in a large old park. He takes care of the trees, plants flowers, sweeps the paths, and keeps order. And of course, he is friends with all his neighbors — animals and birds: with the fox, badger, owl, hedgehog, squirrels, hares, and mice.
In each story, one of the animals or Willy himself manages to get into a difficult and somewhat funny situation, from which there is always a way out. The main thing is to maintain a positive attitude and not to sit idly by.
The plots and humor of these stories will be understandable even to the smallest readers. On each page — detailed illustrations that you will want to look at more than once. One of the stories comes with an interesting task: you need to help Willy and his friends find their way out of the maze.
