Recently retired, Mr. Ambrosius Nosegoode seems to be a perfectly ordinary older gentleman; but appearances can be deceiving as he was once a famous detective and his dog can talk! When a mysterious man with a fake beard comes to town and a music box goes missing, the two friends begin to investigate. This charming Polish children's classic has been translated into English for the first time. For ages 8 and up.
