QUINTIÁ, XERARDO / A. C. QUARELLO, MAURIZIO (Ilustración)
Titiritess lives in the kingdom of Daybeforeyesterday.
Her mother, Mandolin, dreams of her daughter
well married and tries to educate her like
a refined courtesan. But her daughter doesn't share
the queen's aspirations and rejects the conventional
life they want to impose on her. Faced with
the imminent arrival of a governess, she decides
to run from the palace to live fantastic
and amusing adventures: to know another princess
with sweet lips...
Love without prejudice is celebrated in this story
at the same time that, with the necessary sensitivity,
the theme is exposed to a young reader contributing
towards an affective education.
