About the book: year / As a child, Will loved to visit Mr. Ngebe. Mr. Ngebe lived in Central Park, in a tree. Not on the tree itself, of course - he had a house located on a tree, approximately at the height of the third floor, like the elves in the book. True, Mr. Ngbe barely resembled elves - his black, wrinkled face rather resembled the muzzle of a monkey, and his hair sticking out in all directions did not resemble anything at all - some of his curly hair was thick black with a bluish tint, some was gray, but most of his hair was completely gray.
