Un testo tra i più conosciuti, ma, probabilmente, tra i meno letti per il successo della serie animata giapponese, la sua sigla è le sue parodie.
Per leggerlo e goderselo (anche se più adatto ai bambini) bisogna dimenticare quanto riportato dalle riproduzioni contemporanee, in quanto ha da dire ben di più di quello che ci hanno fatto credere gli animatori e autori del cartone. È un romanzo tutto da scoprire e di una profondità inaspettata: storie di redenzione!

This was my favorite book when I was a little girl. I thought I would enjoy reading it again as an adult, but I ruined the memory for myself. It just isn't written well, but the story itself was a delight to me as a child.

Beautiful children's story set in the Swiss alps and quickly draws you in to love all the main characters.
