Kaktus bajke

Sunčana Škrinjarić

CACTUS FAIRY TALES are very different from classic fairy tales. There are no princes or beautiful girls in them, no fairies or giants, no dwarves or witches.

Most of the stories in that collection are fantastic, but there are also stories in which nothing impossible happens (the stories Dream always has time, The Story of Braca, Dandelion and Blue Poppy and Unusual Trip), but they talk about ordinary children in an ordinary real world...
