Little Snake

This is the story of Mary, a young girl born in a beautiful city full of rose gardens and fluttering kites. When she is still very small, Mary meets Lanmo, a shining golden snake, who becomes her very best friend.

The snake visits Mary many times, he sees her city change, become sadder as bombs drop and war creeps in. He sees Mary and her family leave their home, he sees her grow up and he sees her fall in love. But Lanmo knows that the day will come when he can no longer visit Mary, when his destiny will break them apart, and he wonders whether having a friend can possibly be worth the pain of knowing you will lose them.

From one of Britain's most gifted and celebrated writers, The Little Snake is a magical and deeply moving fable about the journey we all take through life, about love and family, about war and resilience, about how we live in this world, and how we leave it.

Aceasta este povestea Mariei, o tanara fata nascuta intr-un oras frumos, plin de gradini de trandafiri si zmee fluturand. Cand este inca foarte mica, Mary il intalneste pe Lanmo, un sarpe de aur stralucitor, care devine cel mai bun prieten al ei. Sarpele o viziteaza pe Mary de mai multe ori, el vede orasul ei schimbandu-se, devenind mai trist cand bombele cad si razboiul se strecoara.
