Synopsis "Recreations by Retroussy Book One"

"REINAÇÕES DE NARIZINHO - VOLUME UM" and "A LAMPREIA". Lucy, the girl with the retroussé nose, or Retroussy Lucy, or just Retroussy, as everybody calls her, is living out her childhood in the Yellow Woodpecker Grange with her grandmother Dona Benta and the housekeeper Aunt Nastacia. And, very importantly, her cousin Pete spends every school holiday in the grange, and that's when the best of dreams, plays and learning take form. Other participants that don't miss a single adventure are the talking ragdoll Emily, the piglet Notail and the wise corncob Viscount Benedict Corncobs. In this opening volume of the series we see the yellowwoodpeckers in an unforgettable voyage into the beautiful deep sea, then bumping into an exciting adventure with Western movie star Tom Mix, getting to know a beehive and its organised inhabitants, attending the solemn funeral of a wasp, and even taking part into two Royal Weddings.In 'The Lamprey', bonus short story also by Monteiro Lobato, Retroussy, Pete, Emily and Viscount meet again their friends from the sea and find out what they have been up to.JOSÉ RENATO MONTEIRO LOBATO (São Paulo, Brazil, 18 April 1882 - 04 July 1948) was South America's pioneer in the genre Children's Literature as well as the founder of the first publishing house in the continent. Notably, he translated from the English and self-published Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and JM Barrie's Peter Pan; or, The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up. His fantasy books featuring the YELLOW WOODPECKER GRANGE characters have been adapted to cinema, TV series, comic books, theatre, music and TV cartoons across the decades. Monteiro Lobato has influenced many generations of writers and his characters are still the most recognisable in national culture.
