Abstract
Toshko is the most famous monkey in Bulgarian literature. He comes from Africa, but he lives in Bulgarian village. Toshko Afrikanski is extremely talented and skilled in… making terrible jokes and organizing unimaginable messes. Although sometimes well-intentioned, he always disappoints his mistress Todora, and – we cannot deny it – quite deservedly.
However, one thing cannot be denied – whatever devilry he comes up with, at least it is incredibly entertaining, even if only for the young reader.
