Jedna z nejoblíbenějších českých dětských knížek vznikla už před 70 lety. Karel Čapek, který ji pro děti "napsal a zakusil", si pořídil do domu na Vinohradech nejprve airdala, pak drsnosrstého teriéra Iris, mámu Dášeňky. Tahle krásná knížka kromě Života štěněte obsahuje i kapitoly Jak se fotografuje štěně a Pohádky pro Dášeňku, O psích zvycích nebo třeba O lidech. Půvabné vyprávění i obrázky budou provázet vaše děti po celý život; jednou s nimi seznámí zase svoje děti.

This illustrated book of five classic fairy tales follows an earlier edition based mostly on works by the Brothers Grimm. The tribute here is to Hans Christian Andersen and three of his most popular stories, including the search for a genuine princess, an emperor who is foolish as well as ridiculous, and a duckling that discovers there’s more than meets the eye in the real world. They are joined by a little girl who takes advantage of three bears, first put into print by Robert Southey in 1837, and the tale of a mysterious piper which has seen many variations, Robert Browning’s in particular, on the events of June 26, 1284, when the children of a small hamlet suddenly disappeared.
Loughton Stairs joins the Navy to see the world. While he's away, his girlfriend Lisa ends up with his brother Demain instead, an easygoing gourmet more interested in family than adventure. A change in fortunes leads Demain into uniform as well and to eventual assignment aboard the same submarine as Loughton, who still has Lisa in mind. Their ups and downs are played out against the backdrop of the USS Portsmouth, a fast attack submarine they take from its sea trials in the Atlantic to a long voyage around the Pacific Rim.
