«The Squires and Shaggy the Dog» is the fourth novel in the Taras Shevchenko award-winning Squires trilogy by a famous Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Rutkivsky. With the «spontaneous» appearance of this novel, the trilogy suddenly became a tetralogy.This is an unusual book. It is both historical and modern, both funny and wise. It tells us about life and death, terrestrial and celestial. It tells us about first tender feelings (and not only between people), about time travels, where loyalty and friendship stay invariable.
In this novel you will for the last time meet your favorite characters – the brave cossack Shvayka, the sorcerers Hrytsyk and San`ko, the cossack`s wolves Barvinok and Kutsy. You will be curious to learn about Hrytsyk being a modern-day sixth-grade schoolboy and to find out that Kutsy had transformed into Shaggy 500 years after the Cossack era. Moreover, Shaggy turned out to be a fantastic storyteller.
Well, better listen to him…
