Joyce Dunbar and James Mayhew: Smysh and Roy. Happy Days

In the Forest more often, immediately behind the Rabbit's hole and next to the hollow of the Owl, live the balanced, soft and reasonable mouse Smysh and the eccentric, capricious, selfish, but captivating with his childish spontaneity, the mole Roy. Their happy days are filled with a variety of events: in six short stories, Smysh makes crafts, and Roy tests a hammock, Roy loses, and Smysh finds Roy's glasses, together they learn to catch a falling autumn leaf on the fly, together they rejoice at the first daffodil of spring, desperately argue about whether it’s good or bad to have mustaches of different lengths, learn how to wait the least for something special, and have fun celebrating Roy’s birthday with their friends - the Rat, the Rabbit, the Hedgehog and the Owl.

Cute stories about two inseparable friends Smysh and Roy were written by British writer Joyce Dunbar. And the wonderful British artist James Mayhew painted, who liked this cute couple so much that he filled their world with things and objects from his own life.

"Smysh and Roy. Happy Days" continues the tradition of English children's literature. Funny dialogues, actions and relationships of the characters, and, most importantly, tenderness and kindness, which literally permeate every line, make it possible to compare this book with such classic works as "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Graham and "Winnie the Pooh" by Alan Milne. Adults will no doubt appreciate the subtle English humor, and children will definitely fall in love with these lively and vibrant characters.
