Publisher Description:

On his sailing trip, Leo the little wanderer arrives at a rocky bay and disembarks on a deserted pier. It belongs to two towns that are feuding furiously with one another.
The angry mayors won't allow the traveler inside their stone walls. But luckily for Leo, between the two towns lies a piece of land that nobody owns. It is just big enough for his neat little cabin and garden, where many flowers bloom and the beautiful sounds of his violin fill the air.
On warm nights, people climb onto the walls together to admire the view and listen to the music and the sea.
"Would it be better, after all, to tear down the walls that separate us?" the townsfolk begin to wonder.
---
Under en seglingstur kommer Leo den lilla resen ren till en klippig vik och g r iland p en vergiven pir. Piren tillh r tv st der som ligger i fejd med varandra.
De arga borgm starna vill inte sl ppa in resen ren innanf r sina stenmurar. Men som tur f r Leo, ligger det ett stycke land mellan st derna som ingen ger. Marken visar sig vara precis lagom stor. H r kan Leo bygga sin lilla stuga med en blomstrande tr dg rd. Snart fylls luften av vacker violinmusik.
Under varma kv llar kl ttrar m nniskorna upp p de b da murarna f r att tillsammans kunna njuta av utsikten och lyssna till musiken och havet.
"N r allt kommer omkring, skulle det inte vara b ttre att vi rev ner murarna mellan oss?" b rjar stadsborna undra.
