More than one generation of young book lovers has grown up on the stories of the fearless Tomek Wilmowski, written by Polish author Alfred Szklarski. Before you is the third novel in this series, "Tomek on the Warpath," which has been newly revised and supplemented with interesting and informative non-fiction notes. Wonderful illustrations for the book were created by artist Vladimir Kanivets. The thrilling adventures continue, and this time, the brave animal collector and traveler Tomek Wilmowski sets off for the homeland of cowboys — the Wild West. During a hunting expedition in Africa, Tomek was seriously wounded, and his father suggested he stay with his friend, Sheriff Allan, in New Mexico. Tomek gladly agreed, as a meeting with his sweetheart, Sally, awaited him there. Hagenbeck's firm didn't miss the chance and tasked young Wilmowski with hiring Native Americans to participate in a circus tour of Europe. Dashing riders on their beautiful mustangs would cause a real sensation! However, the indigenous people of America had long been on the warpath against the palefaces, and winning their trust is not so simple. The situation is further complicated by the fact that a group of unknown individuals attacked the sheriff's ranch and kidnapped Sally, and all suspicion has fallen on the redskins…
