The new novel is an original story, unrelated to the other works of JK Rowling, for children aged 8 and over. «A topos of children’s literature reinterpreted by the creative genius of JK Rowling – comments Mariagrazia Mazzitelli, Salani’s editorial director -. One of the most beautiful Christmas stories ever written, full of the irresistible tenderness of childhood in the face of the great mystery of loss, a theme that is always so present in the author’s work. His affectionate, inexhaustible imagination and compassion for loved people and objects that absorb human feelings is the celebration of the warmth of family, of caring and feeling understood and of the authentic sustainability of things ».
