Bill Badger and the Pirates

With the arrival of spring, Bill Badger, nicknamed Uncle Bill, and his faithful assistant, a hedgehog named Buzzy-Puzzy, find themselves "out of luck" in the figurative sense of the word: their barge "Free Wind" is idle, and the transportation company "Hedgehog and Badger" is suffering losses - all because their clients now prefer to transport goods by truck. However, resourceful Matty McGrizz, an old friend of Uncle Bill, gives the badger an excellent idea: he suggests converting the barge into a cruise ship and using it for excursions along the canal.
The new venture thrives, but the friends' joy is overshadowed by news that their sworn enemies, the cat bandits Napoleon and Ginger the Bruiser, are at large, and now Uncle Bill and Buzzy-Puzzy fear that the bandits will attack the barge again…
This gripping story, which is a continuation of the thrilling adventure tales "Bill Badger and the 'Free Wind'" and "Bill Badger. Winter Journey", is written in the best traditions of the bestseller "Up the Whimsy and Back": exciting adventures, unexpected plot twists, 30 stylish black-and-white illustrations, and an incomparable atmosphere of a classic literary work of the "old school", unjustly forgotten and rediscovered.
