Storie fantastiche delle vacanze

by Charles Dickens, Claudia Bacile di Castiglione (Translator), Giorgia Marras (Illustrator)

Overview

Alice, William, Robin e Nettie sono i coraggiosi cantastorie di questa raccolta. Ai loro occhi gli adulti non sanno proprio come comportarsi e così decidono che durante l’estate inventeranno dei racconti che insegnino ai grandi… come essere adulti! Li scriverà poi il Redattore designato: William Tinkling, di anni otto. Racconterà di una lisca magica che, per una sola volta, può esaudire qualunque desiderio e viene donata da una Fata a una Principessa. Del Capitano coraggioso Boldheart che combatte la sua guerra contro le angherie del Maestro di Grammatica Latina. E di distinti, educati piccoli signori che accudiscono i grandi come fossero i loro bambini, in un paese incantato dove i ruoli sono ribaltati.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
