“The Woe-Wizard” is a witty, lively, original fairy tale by the Hungarian writer Pal Bekes, which has become a classic. The story about the wizard Zhuzhik Shurshalkin appeared long before the world famous Harry Potter. It did not gain that popularity - due to the rarity of the language, but it is worthy to stand on a shelf next to the classics of world literature. Zhuzhik Shurshalkin graduated from the school of wizards and was assigned to work in the District Department of Magic and Witchcraft - on the outskirts of Budapest, built up with boring high-rise buildings, in which There were no tales of his appearance and no extraordinary events occurred. It is there that Zhuzhik meets Ilyusha-Kiryusha: he lives in a block house, goes to first grade, is embarrassed by the name his parents gave him, and does not believe in miracles at all... The young wizard Zhuzhik has to dig deep into the “Handbook for Magicians” to find the necessary spells, go on a journey, save the princess and meet many unexpected obstacles so that Ilyusha-Kiryusha still believes that the fairy tale exists. For primary school age.
