This is the most famous rhymed tale by Lele Luzzati, very well known all over the world as one of the best artists, illustrators, stage designers and authors. From Aĺ Babà and forty thieves was drawn even a beautiful cartoon. In this book you can admire his woderful colours, his odd details and his clever irony, together with a main character who, thanks to his child’s innocence, works out brilliantly a fantastic adventure. «Who knows, who doesn’t / this is the story of Aĺ Babà / who, to spend his time cheerfully, / did a bit of everything just to do nothing».
