"Dunque ascoltiamo senza batter ciglia
la famosa invasione degli orsi in Sicilia"

Davvero una favola per tutte le età, con la quale mi dispiace non essere cresciuta.

È adorabile. Da adulto potrei far notare che non contiene chissà quali colpi di scena, ma chi se li aspettava? Qualcosa che non mi aspettavo e che invece ho trovato però c'è: descrizioni vivide di battaglie (ok che si tratta di orsi, ma i buchi dei proiettili e la neve macchiata di sangue non hanno lasciato indifferente me, figuriamoci un bambino), illustrazioni deliziose e un pizzico di umorismo.

Dalla presentazione dei personaggi:
UN GUFO. Se ne udrà la voce, per un momento, nel capitolo secondo. Nascosto nel folto della foresta, non lo potremo vedere, tanto più che sarà già sceso il crepuscolo. Il ritratto qui stampato è perciò del tutto immaginario. Il gufo sarà solo una delle sue malinconiche cantatine, come abbiamo detto. Poi basta.

What a relief from the books I have been reading. It is easy to see why Handler, loved this book as a child. It is different from anything I've read. It has adventure and conflict wrapped in the unbelivable (talking bears) yet realistic journey of one King and his people.

This was such a random title and had such an intriguing cover that I just had to pick it up when it caught my eye at the library. It was very short, I finished it in about half an hour. There were fun illustrations and a happy ending. All in all a delightful, light, afternoon's reading.

Historia orientada a un público infantil, que traspasa sus límites y abarca también al público adulto, debido a sus diversos mensajes y alegorías que creo que no dejarán a nadie indiferente.

Conoceremos el compañerismo, el bien común y el amor desinteresado, como así también la avaricia, la traición y la crueldad en esta bella historia protagonizada por osos, magos, caballeros y monstruos.

It took me a while to get in to this story of vaguely antropomorphic bears, and I didn't find nearly as much humor in it until I read "Lemony Snicket's" reader's guide at the end. The guide is more memorable than the text itself, though it occasionally takes a cue from epic poetry and is filled with fun illustrations. The overall feel is a cross between a neoclassical epic with a touch of morality and a history textbook of sorts.
