Dau un regat pentru un ceai

Edgar longs to escape his dull history class and have tea at home. Instead, he slips through a hole in his desk. He lands in another world and another time. There, words and logic no longer follow their usual rules. He meets Fiara Furibundă, a talking dog, and a mouse named Albert. Albert teaches him about the theory of relativity. Edgar must use wit and courage to get through his adventures. He returns to class braver and wiser.

Anthony Burgess blends fantasy, absurd events, and sly humour in this children's story. Florin Bican links it to Lewis Carroll's two Alice tales and to Pinocchio. Each child enters a strange world and must find a way back. The journey changes how they see the home they left.

Bican translated this edition from English and supplied a foreword and commentary. It includes 21 black-and-white drawings by Fulvio Testa.
