A delightful picture story book of an Italian fairy tale translated and written down for the first time ever.
Two orphans find something hidden away that leads them onto a fairytale journey.
This story was one of the many oral stories Gracie’s mother would tell her as a child. These stories ignited a passion for fairytales and led her onto her own journey of translating one of them and illustrating it for her family.
It is a dream realized: Not able to find this written anywhere it is now in book format: Re told and illustrated by Gracie Scala Adamson.
It is suitable for 6 years onwards and anyone interested in Italian culture.
It has Italian phrases throughout the story and the Italian version on the last two pages.
Complete with original paintings, tribute to her mother and dedication this little book will warm and delight you!
