The Wishing Tree: Childhood Memories

Andrei Huțuleac

Mara, a 12-year-old girl living with her grandfather, suffers from an incurable illness, an aggressive form of cancer. She discovers a way out of the grey and painful world: a magic tree located near the Hospice Casa Speranţei centre in Adunaţii Copăceni. This turns out to be a portal to the fantastic world of Ion Creangă. She reaches Humuleşti, where she experiences the adventures from “Childhood Memories” together with Nică, the book's protagonist. With his help, Mara learns that every moment of life must be cherished...
