Andre Maurois

Patapoufs et Filifers på persiska. Det här är en berättelse om två bröder. Edmund har en rund mage medan Terry är magerlagd. När de av en händelse upptäcker de underjordiska länderna Patapoufs och Filifers går deras vägar isär. Invånare i Patapoufs är förtjusta i mat och äter varje timme. Invånarna i Filifers gillar däremot inget annat än ordning och reda. Länderna ligger i fejd med varandra och när som helst kan kriget bryta ut. Det blir bröderna Edmunds och Terrys uppgift att skapa fred. Boken är en översättning av den franska barnboken Patapoufs et Filifers skriven av André Maurois.

The Fattypuffs eat six square meals a day with light snacks in between. The Thinifers like nothing more than discipline and work six days a week.
