Recreations by Retroussy Book Two (original title: Reinacoes de Narizinho volume dois)Bonus short story: The 7 League Boots (original title: As Botas de Sete Leguas)The second volume of the series comes packed with even more adventures and characters. For starters, Pete, Retroussy, Emily, Viscount and Notail throw a party and the guests are those from World Wonders: Cinderella, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf, the sisters Rose Red and White Rose, Peter Pan, Hop-o’-My-Thumb, Bluebeard, Aladdin and the genie, Puss in Boots, Ali Baba, Brave Little Tailor, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, an Ugly Duckling, Hansel and Gretel, and everybody from the One Thousand and One Nights. In an attempt to make a brother for Pinocchio, the yellowwoodpeckers discover the virtuous Johnny Make-Believe and go on to build the magnanimous Little Horseley Circus Company. Magic dust Pirlimpimpim and the intrepid invisible boy Feather Fellow take them on a trip to Fables Country, where they meet the fabulists La Fontaine and Aesop. They even manage to take part in some fables and bring back home their new animal friend, Talking Mule. To top it off they take their dear grandma Dona Benta on a trip to the Arabian deserts where they get an unexpected encounter with the mighty Roc Bird and their rescuer is none less than lying artist Baron Munchausen himself! In ‘The 7 League Boots’, bonus short story also by Monteiro Lobato, we see Hop-o’-My-Thumb struggling in the city with a ‘delaying boot’ and finding his solution at the Yellow Woodpecker Grange with Emily.
