The Bears' Famous Invasion Of Sicily

First published in 1947, this sprightly fairy tale chronicles the forgotten "history" of a terrible winter in Sicily that sent the starving bears down from the mountains into the valley in search of food. Full color.

Dino Buzzati's classic tale chronicles the terrible winter that sent the starving bears down into the valley in search of food, as well as their struggles with an army of wild boars, a wily professor who may or may not be a magician, snarling Marmoset the Cat, and, worse still, treachery within their own ranks. Over all this, the bears triumph with bravery, ingenuity, humility, and high spirits.
