Crowned by the story of The Mermaid of Warsaw , the eight colourful tales in this collection include Skarbnik's Second Breakfast , set deep in the Wieliczka salt mines, The Turnip-Counter from Karkonosze and The Copper Coin of Wineta , alongside stories from, Poznan and the Polish lakes. Paul Hess's stylish illustrations make this a collection to delight children everywhere.
