Andy Stanton Knihy

Zdravím vás, děti, v tento temný a sychravý večer. Přisedněte ke krbu, neboť toto je chvíle, v jakých se spřádají podivné příběhy. Příběhy, jako je ten o Páje a starém zchátralém mlýně dole u řeky. Jaké to děsivé tajemství onen mlýn skrývá? Pročpak se tu ukrývá pan Guma? A kolik toho ví Stará Babča? Přisedněte, děti, neboť to vše vám nyní vyjevím…

Pan Guma je naprostý poděs, nemá rád děti, zvířata, legraci ani cuc na kládě. Tahle knížka je celá o něm. A taky o vzteklé víle, která žije ve vaně. A o psovi Čuprpsovi a holčičce, které kamarádi říkají Pája, a o zlém, smradlavém řezníkovi, který je celý upatlaný od prejtu.

Buď zdráv, statečný čtenáři! Jsi dostatečně statečný, abys následoval Páju a Pátka na jejich výpravě na Skřetí horu a bojoval tam se silami zla? Budiž ti toto varováním. Tato kniha je plná mečů, zlobrů, čarodějnic a věcí, co vypadají jako okurka. A starý známý zatr-vatr-lený pan Guma je do toho samozřejmě zamotaný. To mi urvi bradu, je to krvavě velkolepé!

No, tak tahle knížka se dost těžko popisuje. Je v ní perníkový mužíček s elektrickými svaly, jasný? Je bohatý jak prašivka, chápete? A taky jsou tam pan Guma a Vilda Viliam, co kují pikle, jak se těch prachů zmocnit, víme? A Pája musí zachránit situaci. A pak jsou tam taky pouťové atrakce a párky v rohlíku a Pátek Doubrava, který má šílené hlášky, a... Ale hele, nakonec to tak těžké nebylo! Tak čau!
