Specialist Notes
Second edition, perfectly contemporary to the first and typographically identical to it (it is, in effect, a second edition issued to saturate editorial requests, as the first edition is limited to only 500 copies), of one of the most exquisite figurations of the Italian twentieth century , in which Rubino's poems for children blend admirably with the illustrations. The volume is considered the first Italian artist's book for children.
