The picture book Mr. Oddwood is a warm and humorous story about an unusual friendship between a boy named Mirkec and an old man named Veljko, nicknamed Mr. Oddwood. Once upon a time, Veljko was just a normal guy – up until cars started showing up in his town. Veljko disliked them so much that he decided to escape into the woods and never return to the town. No one has seen him since his departure and various stories about him begin to circulate – from ones where he feeds on berries and leaves and hides in the hollows of trees, to ones where he goes crazy and becomes dangerous. In fear of Mr. Oddwood, no one wants to go into the forest.
