Little Wang-lo, part of the Tales Around the World Series, invites readers aboard a floating world of wonder, mischief, and discovery. Living on a houseboat with his father, a duck merchant, Little Wang-lo sets off for the market with a simple errand: sell the ducks and bring home a pig for dinner. But in this playful tale, nothing goes quite as planned. A mischievous pig, a giant eagle, and a chain of unexpected adventures lead the young hero far beyond the ordinary rhythm of the river.
With warmth, humour, and a touch of magic, the story explores childhood innocence, curiosity, and the surprising consequences of greed. As Little Wang-lo's journey unfolds, misfortune turns into possibility, and a hidden treasure changes life on the houseboat forever. Charming, whimsical, and gently wise, Little Wang-lo is a delightful tale for young readers who love classic stories filled with adventure, enchantment, and unexpected rewards.
