Tomek leads a peaceful existence managing his late parents' village store, a haven that offers an abundance of necessities and more. However, his tranquil routine is disrupted when a young girl arrives, seeking a peculiar item that Tomek has never encountered before: a drop of water from the enigmatic River Qjar. Curiosity piqued, she enquires about its availability, but Tomek confesses that he lacks it. Undeterred, she swiftly disappears into the horizon. Driven by an insatiable desire to unravel the mysteries surrounding the enigmatic girl, Tomek embarks on an extraordinary journey. His quest leads him through treacherous realms, including the haunting Forest of Oblivion, where formidable bears roam, a meadow of lethal scented flowers, a long-forgotten island plagued by a wicked witch, and beyond. This captivating fantasy tale, a million-copy bestseller in France, has finally made its way to English audiences, thanks to the talented translation of Ros Schwartz.
