Today we’re talking about cats. Cats love staying warm and
in sheltered places, love go hunting and don’t like the com-
pany of their own kind… And what about if the illustrations
told us about a fun-loving cat who hides in his owner’s trou-
sers turn-ups and is always up to something? Then there
are humans, who, unlike cats, love company, sharing food
and sleeping always in the same place. An ironic and funny
book on the wonderful world of housecats.
The author and illustrator - Marisa Vestita was born in Taranto
in 1975. She studied Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce
and, in the same time, she attends internships of comics, set de-
sign and stagecraft. In 2002 she moves to Milan, where she starts
working as a magazine illustrator. She gets passionate about digi-
tal by attending the Istituto Europeo di Design (European Institute
of Design). Today she works with many Italian publishers and her
books are translated into several languages.

A very famous tale, Bluebeard, narrated in verse by Bar-
bara Ferraro. Dark atmospheres, murders, imminent dan-
gers, but with a light at the end that is hope. The adapta-
tion follows the translation Collodi made of Perrault’s text in
1876. Srimalie Bassani’s illustrations, made with pencil and
three colours to define the main characters, have the ability
to keep the narration tension high.
The author - Barbara Ferraro has a phylologist background. She
is expert in fairy tales and in the tradition of oral story-telling and is
editor-in-chief of “Dana”. She is blogger of Atlantide Kids and col-
laborates with the web magazine Libri Calzelunghe on children’s
