Moreover, if you order at least three of these books (preferably in a single order), we will apply a 30% discount to the lowest-priced book after the order has been received.
If the total value of your order(s) of at least three birthday books reaches 100,000 HUF excluding VAT, we will apply the special 30% discount to the highest-priced book instead of the lowest one — but still only to a single book.
(You will not see the special 30% discount in your shopping cart, as it will be applied manually by our staff after your order has been received. It is important that your order is placed on 6 October; we will not be able to apply the discount before or after this date. The discount is available only for recipients of our ‘Favourite Topics Notification’ newsletter.)

Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
*2015 RED HOUSE CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD SHORTLISTED AUTHOR*
A brand new animal adventure for 8+ readers set during World War One from classic-in-the-making and bestselling author, Megan Rix. Perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo and Sarah Lean.
Two friends, fighting their way home . . .
SHANTI and her calf TARA are beautiful circus elephants.
HARVEY is the faithful old collie who leads the show.
In war they will perform their most death-defying trick yet.
When the First World War seizes Europe, Cullen's Circus is forced to close. The men are sent to fight and the animals are torn apart from their keepers, and each other. But while Shanti must help on a farm, it's little Tara who faces a far worse fate. . .
Separated too soon from her mother, Tara's life is in danger. Only old, brave Harvey can bring them back together. And so side-by-side, dog and elephant set out on an extraordinary journey across the English countryside - but can the unlikely friends find Shanti in time?
