Just around the corner, in the nearby forest, more is going on than you might think. One day the peaceful life of the wild animals of Warsaw's Las Kabacki (yes, there are wild animals living in city forests too!) is disturbed by the arrival of a mysterious hairy creature. There would be nothing wrong with a visitor as such – quite the opposite – the wild boars, foxes, hares and ducks of Kabaty are very fond of guests. This one, however, is crying, and what's more, claims that they are in great danger, threatened by a terrible disease… News like that cannot be ignored. The inhabitants of the Forest spring into action! Is the Troll right? Will they manage to save themselves from the plague? And finally, what should be done with the culprit behind all the commotion? "Dzik Dzikus" is, on the one hand, an endearing and gripping story which, with its likeable characters, their dialogues, and its charming songs and hummed rhymes, follows in the tradition of Winnie-the-Pooh. On the other hand, it is a beautiful, wise and remarkably topical treatise on what to do when faced with a rumour, how to stop panic, and what true friendship is all about. Moreover, the story is set in an extraordinary place: Krzysztof Łapiński invites his readers to Las Kabacki, which, although it lies on the outskirts of Warsaw, is described as if it were a wild primeval forest. Krzysztof Łapiński is a philosopher, the author of an outstanding translation of Marcus Aurelius, a science journalist and a dad. This is his debut in children's literature. The illustrations for the book were created by Marta Kurczewska, whose distinctive line children know very well, among others from "Mirabelka", "Dusia" and "Tappi". "Dzik Dzikus" is another title in the Wydawnictwo Agora series featuring animal characters. Children have grown fond of their stories and adults have come to appreciate them. After Lolek the dog, Ambaras the wolf and Wojtek the stork, it is time for the adventures of Dzikus the wild boar.
