A timeless tale of friendship and bravery that spans generations.
A boy. A dog. A bright red sled.
Young Gunzil loves life on the farm, especially when a magical snowfall blankets the fields in white. Eager to test out his favorite sled, Gunzil sets off with his faithful dog, Bowser, for a day of winter adventure.
But as the afternoon sun fades and a fresh storm rolls in, the familiar landscape transforms into a disorienting wilderness. Deep in the woods and shivering in the growing dark, the path home has vanished. In this heartwarming story of survival and loyalty, Gunzil discovers that Bowser is more than just a playmate.
Originally written in 1934 and beautifully restored for this definitive 2026 edition, Gunzil & Bowser features hand-drawn calligraphy and vibrant digital illustrations, making it a perfect read-aloud for fans of classic winter adventures.
