Marian Orlon (1932-1990) worked as a teacher, and then a librarian
while pursuing an extremely successful career as a children's
writer. His subtle sense of humour and exciting plots made the
stories in his Detective Nosegoode series bestsellers in Poland.
His books have now been translated into six languages. In 1981 he
was given Poland's highest literary honour, the Council of
Ministers award, for his life's work.
Jerzy Flisak (1930-2008) was a well-known Polish illustrator and
designer of film posters and stage sets. He illustrated more than
70 books over his long career.
It's very much a traditional - without feeling particularly dated
though - children's detective series, which I enjoyed very much and
I am confident that young British readers will embrace it as much
as their Polish counterparts
*The School Librarian*
Flisak's strong, distinctive ink drawings help define characters
while underscoring the stories' gentle humor... a pleasing addition
to the series
*Booklist*
Every bit as good as the previous two in this series for junior
crime fighters
*Philosophy Football*
