Ture Sventon in the desert

The second, oriental volume of the series about the adventures of the famous detective Ture Sventon in a new edition - for the first time in Poland with original illustrations by the Swedish master Sven Hemmel.

Ture Sventon - a practicing private investigator, a cream puff lover and a true flying carpet owner - is back! This time he goes to the Arabian desert to visit his friend Omar - and quite by accident he finds himself in the middle of a criminal intrigue. Will he be able to protect against theft the latest discovery of a genius inventor? And how to pack the puffs so that they won't spoil in hot Arabia?

''I had three camels yesterday,'' Omar said, and bowed.
''Ah, yes,'' Sventon replied, taking a sip of his coffee.
''Rubin, Emerald and Diamond,'' said Omar. - Today I only own two: Rubin and Emerald.
''The third one was stolen,'' Sventon said immediately.
A private investigator is never surprised to learn that a camel has been stolen. It seems completely natural to him.

The series of humorous books about the adventures of Ture Sventon is a classic of a detective novel for children - in Sweden he is a character no less known than Sherlock Holmes.
