Deep underground in a filthy and gloomy castle lives Evil. It wants to capture as many residents of the Beautiful Valley as possible. But Evil cannot make its castle beautiful and cozy. So who would go visit that unpleasant, cold place?… Yet clever Evil found a way: a road of real, very tasty marmalade leads to the terrible castle. Along it walk Marsia, Mafie, and their friend Noretta, delighted by how much sweet they can eat. And on the way they also come across wonderful places where you can take anything you want completely free. But when they arrive at the castle, the little dogs understand: for everything you have to pay—not with money, but with your freedom. Can the friends defeat Evil? Will they be able to rescue those who have long lost hope of liberation? Answers to these and other questions are in the new fairy-tale novella "The Road from Marmalade" from the series "Tales of the Beautiful Valley". At the end of the book, young readers will get a gift: "Forty-Seven Tips," written by the smartest pug, Churchill!
