About the book: 2024 / Is it good luck or bad luck to meet dancing gnomes in the forest? How did the elderly fairy punish the prince who offended her? What happened to Snowflake, who wanted to see spring, flowers and the warm sea? You will learn this by looking into the world created more than a hundred years ago by the Italian writer Guido Gozzano (1883–1916); a world of evil sorcerers and good sorceresses, magnificent palaces and stupid kings, where a whole army lives in a traveling staff, and a tiny wren bird crawls through the keyhole.
