Piumini is an important author in Italy and this is the first book by him to appear here. This is a novel which reflects a different tradition in writing for young people. We can see a similarity in many ways to Exupery’s The Little Prince, already a well established classic here. These two books have a real affinity in their atmosphere and belief that children can respond to questions and ideas that might be considered too philosophical when presented with engaging, teasing storytelling.
