Product information
Full publisher description
The sensitive and delicate art of Manuela Adreani, an internationally famous illustrator who manages to capture the essence of the figures with unique taste and tact, will accompany the little readers in their discovery of the delightful animals enlivening these fables. Created centuries ago by the Greek Aesop, they have become part of our universal literary patrimony. Children will be thrilled by tales of animals personifying humans, and will come to know their timeless stories, which are always accompanied by a concluding moral. The unmistakable style of the drawings, whose delicate and reassuring strokes are able to create an immediate empathy between character and reader, and the simple, modern language used to present the fables are certain to stimulate the imagination of little readers, enabling them to travel in a world of dreams! AGES: 6 and up AUTHOR: Manuela Adreani was born in Rome and currently lives in Turin. After receiving her high school degree with specialisation in illustration, she worked as a graphic designer before moving to the world of animation. After winning a scholarship for a Masters in Animation at the IED in Turin, she worked for Studio Lastrego e Testa on the TV series "Le avventure di Aladino" and "Amita della Giungla," produced and broadcast by RAI, and on the short feature "La Creazione," produced for the book of the same title by Carlo Fruttero. In 2011, she commenced her career as a freelance illustrator, collaborating with Benchmarck and Scholastic India. She is among the winners of the illustration competition commemorating the 130th anniversary of Pinocchio's creation. 20 coloured illustrations Padded Hardcover
