Like any Sienkiewicz work, "Pan Michael" is a wonderful read due to its prose, his wonderful characterization and due to his ability to bring color to his works. It rounds out the Trilogy that has bridged stylistic centuries and proven there is an ageless recipe for plot, drama, character and objective. NO reader, regardless of ethnic background can fail to feel for the incredibly detailed main characters in this novel, such as Pan Michael or the daring woman, Basha. Action is not stinted and combines with the other elements in this colorful and sweeping epic to demonstrate history in one of the least well-documented areas of 17th century Europe. In Poland and Lithuania, where the edges of three great religions, and dozens of ethnic groups ebbed and flowed over the multicolored plains in endless kaleidescopes of struggle, Sienkiewicz paints a vast landscape of dramatic and epic action. Written by the novelist who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905.

This is a great story, strangely and gorgeously illustrated. It is the story of Bobo, a man who makes food for all the animals - only one day a 'funny thing' comes along. It is not an animal, it insists it is an aMinal.
A wonderful story of goodness, patience and distraction.
