Great little book!
Perfect summer reading for my 12 year old. I bought 2 copies and we took turns playing the different character. It was funny at times and the reading can be challenging at times but a great precursor to more complex literature that she will be introduced to in a few years.

This story defines the search for truth and beauty
Best author in the English language. He covers the range of human issues. Read Shakespeare frequently: try to see the plays performed and the re-read the plays. TV and social media insult your intelligence.

Perfetto per chi ha buone conoscenze dell'inglese
Libro in ottimo stato, spedizione eccellente, tutto ok. Tuttavia per me resta una lettura difficile in quanto richiede un buon livello di lingua inglese, infatti si tratta dell'edizione originale (o comunque che presenta forme e termini antiquati).
