You hold in your hands a book of exciting adventures comparable only to Stevenson's Treasure Island or Jules Verne's novels. Only here the main characters are animals: cats, mice, walruses, turtles... The classic children's writer Andrey Usachev tells four stories with humor about the crew of the schooner captain Kotauskas, the first mate Athos and the young mouse Shuster. In pursuit of a rich catch, they will go hunting for a whale, visit the North Pole. The search for a magical goldfish will lead them to Japan, and their honeymoon trip to Egypt will result in a battle with the cat worshipers of the goddess Isis.Read and be amazed!
