Maria's Adventures - Unexpected Encounters

by Raul Sebastian Baz

These are stories about friendship, forgiveness, tenacity, love, tolerance and understanding. About family, dreams and hopes. They are about a teenage sum of values we discover at a certain point in our lives and then some of us begin to forget. These are life lessons that Maria, the main character, learns during extraordinary encounters with a royal eagle, a dessert fox, a Benghal tiger ... One of today's most talented artists, Romanian Mircea Doinaru, created the superb illustrations of this book. His delicate watercolors are full of strength and yet reflect sensitivity. The illustrations add to the atmosphere of these stories written in the classic style of Oscar Wilde or Wilhelm Hauff.

[Corina · Rating 5 out of 5]

These short stories stand proof that our inner child can explore a half imaginary, half real world regardeless of our age. This is a modern wonderland where a fish can be an emperor, a tiger can befriend a girl and a hedgehog can break boudaries. There are great lessons of love, friendship and acceptance in each tale. The author has great imagination and will take your mind through a few fantastic encounters. Great read!
