In the Land of Eternal Vacations and other stories

More than anything else, Sasha dreams of going on a trip somewhere far, far away, without mom, without dad, without adults at all. And one day his wish comes true: his mother sends her son to the village to stay... with his grandfather. There the boy meets his namesake, who nicknames him Shura - otherwise they will confuse him. The new acquaintance turns out to be an inventor and a restless person, and therefore Shura is guaranteed a summer full of fun adventures! And Petya, the main character of the story “In the Land of Eternal Vacations,” also has a dream. But Petya is very lazy, and his dream is not about traveling, but about the holidays never ending. And he wanted it so much that he really found himself in the Land of Eternal Vacations. Now, instead of boring lessons, his schedule is full of entertainment: going to the cinema, visiting the circus, eating gingerbread and candy... But the boy quickly understands: without true friends nearby, even an eternal vacation is not a joy. This collection also includes other equally fascinating stories by Anatoly Aleksin, which are considered his best children's works.
