Description
"Concealed in the deepest of legends is the secret wisdom of a people," declares the President of the Province of Trento, Lorenzo Dellai, in his introduction to the four volumes written by Mauro Neri, who has been engaged for years in the historical-literary recovery of popular tales and fables. Four books four seasons, for a total of 365 legends, one per day: anyone, by searching for their day of birth, can find their own legend. A pleasant and also entertaining way to learn about Trentino's history, its people linked to the mountains and the land, and its evolution. Books, therefore, that the Province's emigration service - attentive and sensitive in safeguarding even a 'minor' popular heritage - has seen fit to propose also in its English translation, to enhance a Trentino that today is entrusted to the younger generations. Refined and narrative ink drawings by Rovereto-based illustrator Pierluigi Negriolli introduce the twelve months of the year.
