the story

« As everyone can see – Oleg is an octopus. He’s a real poet and often writes 8 poems a time using his very own handmade ink. He loves to eat sea shells at his favorite Italian underwater restaurant ”L’azzurro del mare”.

In his octopus’s garden Oleg is spending a lot of time growing sea anemones and corals. His favorite song is the Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine”. »
