Photographic paperback binding with pink and black coloured titles to the front panel and black and white coloured titles to the back strip. Quoting from the rear panel blurb " ... Eight young Italian boys from the mountains outside Florence wrote this passionate and eloquent book. It took them a year. Simply and clearly, with some devastating statistical analysis of the Italian education system, they set out to show the ways in which attitudes towards class, behaviour, language and subject-matter militate against the poor. They describe, too, the reforms they propose, and the methods they use in their own school – the School of Barbiana, started under the guidance of the parish priest and now entirely run by the children." A little creasing of the top book corners with rubbing of the edges, panels and either side of the back strip. Very light age toning of the text block edges and pages. Size: 12 mo (standard paperback). 138, [6 – further titles from publishing house] pages,. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.

Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
