"One Summer Day" is the fourth collection of stories about Percy the Park Keeper. The book includes three stories: "One Summer Day," "The Maze," and
"Full Sail."
These cheerful and kind fairy tales about Percy the Park Keeper and his friends are written in the best traditions of English children's literature. They have been published all over the world for over 30 years, becoming a classic of children's literature during that time; they have been translated into 16 languages, and their total circulation has exceeded 10 million copies!
The main character of these stories—a round-faced, rosy-cheeked, kind-hearted fellow named Percy—lives and works in a large old park. He takes care of the trees, plants flowers, sweeps the paths, and keeps things in order. And, of course, he is friends with all his neighbors: the animals and birds, including the fox, badger, owl, hedgehog, squirrels, hares, and mice.
In every story, one of the animals or Percy himself manages to get into a difficult and slightly amusing situation, for which a solution is always found. The main thing is to stay positive and not sit idly by.
The plots and humor of these stories will be understandable even to the youngest readers. Every page features detailed illustrations that you will want to look at more than once. One of the stories includes an interesting challenge: you need to help Percy and his friends find their way out of a maze.
