The Corsairs. Lena, the mountain anchovy – vol. 15

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 salt on your skin, running and hiding. You breathe in the resin and the scent of mushrooms. The woods are your home, the paths are memories and promises. You don’t need maps, nor anyone else’s dreams, to know in which direction the sea is shining. And all it takes is strong breath and a wooden stick to be the queen of the world.

  • 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.
