The Corsairs. Journey to the forbidden city – vol. 10

Adventure

A series for adventure-seekers! Small in size, big on adventure!

An original series of adventure books curated by Pierdomenico Baccalario and written by Italy’s bestselling children’s authors. Incredible, epic stories, spanning all of history, and ranging around the world, bringing excitement, suspense and mystery, with a healthy dose of laughter!

In this book… There is an unexplored kingdom beyond the mountains. No one has ever entered, and no one has ever returned. To go and conquer it is no game—neither for the great nor the small. It is growing up, it is traveling. And you, among many treasures, hold one made of tiny leaves: tea. So yes, Father: I will come with you.

  • A sophisticated editorial product with exquisite cover artwork, old-style maps, comparative chronological tables and short profiles of the historical figures mentioned.
  • A return to the tradition of Salgari’s adventure stories for children, in an appealing, contemporary style.
