        GATTARENTOLA (KITTERELLA)

        by Maddalena Gerli (Illustrations)

        Cats, among children’s favourite aimals,are the heroes in this fairy tale, vaguely inspired by the Grimm Brothers' Cinderella. Long ago Kitterella lived happily with her mother and father in a far away kingdom. When her mother died. Cinderella's father remarried with a cold, cruel woman who had two daughters. When in turn he died, Cinderella's wicked stepmother turned her into a servant in her own house. Meanwhile, the King determined that his son the Prince should find a suitable bride and provide him with a suitable number of grandchildren. So the King invited every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a fancy dress ball, where his son would be able to choose his bride. Cinderella had no suitable party dress for a ball, but her friends the mice and the birds lent a hand in making her one, a dress that her evil stepsisters tore apart on the ball evening. At this point, the Fairy Queen, the pumpkin carriage, the royal ball, the midnight stroke, the glass slipper get in the game and the rest, as they say, is fairy tale history.

        ABSCHIED VON DER KLEINEN RAUPE (FAREWELL TO LITTLE CATERPILLAR)

        Two friends named Schmatz and Schmierle once lived on a meadow at the edge of the forest. Schmatz was a caterpillar and lived in a beautiful flower. Schmierle was a snail, and he carried his house around on his back. Every morning Schmatz impatiently shook Schmatz bedflower and called: "Get up, you sleepyhead! The sun is already in the sky. Have you at least thought about what we could do today?" And since Schmatz mostly knew an answer to this question, they had a lot of fun together. Until one day Schmatz rattled the flower in vain and Schmatz was gone ...

        I TRE ORSI (THREE BEARS)

        by Lev Tostoj, Mauro Di Leo (adaptation), Ekaterina Borodačeva (illustrations)

        A little girl gets lost. She enters the house of three bears while they are walking in the woods and causes a nice mess. When the three bears return home, the girl runs away. Throughout the story, we can feel the good nature of the three bears and the sympathy of the messy girl, appreciating the harmony and warmth of the dialogue between the characters. Few fairy tales have undergone so many metamorphoses as Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This fairy tale is so well known in Russia that it is believed to be of local origin - also because bears often appear in Russian fairy tales. The fame and diffusion of The Three Bears (as it is called in the Russian version) is mainly due to its rewriting by Lev Tolstoy as well as to its showing in Anna Karenina as a subtext in the passage of Konstantin Levin’s engagement with the three Scerbackij sisters.

        CAPPUCCETTO ROSSO (LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD)

        by Grimm Brothers, Mauro Di Leo (Adaptation), Micao (Illustrations)

        Who doesn’t know the story of Little Red Riding Hood? How many times has it been written, rewritten and even modified? Little Red Riding Hood is a cheerful little girl and a little disobedient, who is bringing a basket of provisions to her sick grandmother. In the woods the little girl meets a wolf and ... What’s new in this edition is the illustrations by Micao: designs first embroidered by hand on the fabric, and then photographed so that they are more real than a decoration. It is thanks to these images that this adaptation of the Brothers Grimm’s ancient tale still manages to touch today’s readers. «I want my art to remain in people's hearts and, through its warmth and humor, transmit the feeling of embroidery materials».

        by Kornej Čukovskij, Mauro Di Leo (Adaptation), Arianna Papini (Illustrations)

        Drin drin. The phone rings and rings and rings! Drin drin. It never stops ringing. Incoming requests and more requests from his animal friends: the dove wants gloves, the crocodile asks for delicious shoes to eat! And the monkey, the bear, the stork, the pig... everyone is looking for the most absurd things. No hope for peace except, exhausted, going to the rescue of a hippo stuck in the mud. A bright and rhythmic nonsense poem full of colors, written by one of the authors most loved by Russian children. The high visual energy perfectly interacts with the rebellious movement of the text

        LA SIRENETTA (THE LITTLE MERMAID)

        by H.C. Andersen, Gemma Capdevila (Illustrations)

        In the crystal clear waters of the deep ocean the King of the Sea lives with his daughters. The youngest one wants to conquer the heart of a prince and asks the witch of the abyss to transform her long fish tail into a pair of tapered legs. Then the little mermaid ventures on earth in search of love, but... "I did not want - as de la Motte Fouqué did in his Ondina - that the siren would gain an immortal soul only and exclusively thanks to a stranger; thanks to the feelings of someone else. I think that would be unethical, that the conquest of eternal salvation depends on luck, and I am absolutely not willing to accept such a point of view. I wanted my little mermaid to make a choice, which is much more natural. And much more divine." Hans Christian Andersen

        by Kornej Cukovskij (Author), M. Di Leo (Adaptation), A. Mosina (Illustrations), M. Caramitti (Translation)

        Who could imagine that an insect as bad as a cockroach would become the hero of a book? The animals knew no worries until a "scrounger" appeared among them. It was then that everyone "ran through the woods and through the fields, frightened by a pair of huge insect mustaches ..." But… would the shy elephants and crocodiles expect that a lively little sparrow comes and saves them? The happy return to normality of the animal family has been illustrated by Russian artist Anastasija Mosina. The story is the prose version of a poem by the Russian Kornej Cukovskij.
