Unknown in Italy November 16, 2008
Tomezzoli Vanni Pierino (S. Donato Mil., Milan, Italy)
Emotion and feeling become characters in this little masterpiece.
I wonder why this book is completely unknown here in Italy,
where no edition is available.
I bought the original version from Amazon and translated it myself for my family.
Beautiful pictures.

This has long been a great favorite and it continues to touch my heart. I've now been able to start sharing my classic favorites with my teenage granddaughter, a gift for both of us.

I first read this story as a child but never had my own copy. It was wonderful to re-read this again and still find it a lovely and poignant story. I loved my beautifully illustrated new hardback version. This famous book is a must in anyone's library.

I had borrowed this book from the library when I was reading William Fiennes' book, The Snow Geese. He mentioned that the story had inspired him to embark on his epic journey to follow the snow geese from their wintering grounds in Texas to their breeding grounds in the Foxe Peninsula. I was so moved by this story that I had to have a copy for myself. Get this book - I know you'll be glad you did! And when you read it, you'll see why it is still being published, 66 years after it was first published in 1941. That it has stood the test of time is a testament to the masterpiece that it is.
This book is really not written for children. I don't know why they keep saying that it's for kids. I suppose it's because of the lovely illustrations in it. However, the reading level is for young adults and adults. There's another book titled THE SNOW GOOSE AND OTHER STORIES. That book is written for young children and it's the same story, just rewritten for junior readers.
