Abstract:
The three robbers: Three robbers terrify the countryside until they are subdued by the charm of a little orphan girl named Tiffany. Zelda's ogre: The giant appetite of the ogre could only be satisfied by the flesh of children until young Zeralda tamed his taste buds with her culinary art. Moon man: The man in the moon outwits the police in several escapades on Earth with the help of his waxing and waning powers and the friendship of a 300-year-old scientist. Fog Island: No one has ever returned from the mysterious Fog Island, but when Finn and Cara get castaway on its murky shores, they discover things are not quite as they expect. Will anyone ever believe them? The hat: A handsome black top hat changes penniless Benito Badoglio's life. Emile: An octopus decides to try living on land and becomes a hero. Flix: Flix, a dog born to cat parents, finds himself able to exist in two cultures, marries a cat, and campaigns for mutual respect between cats and dogs.
