The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily
Dino Buzzati. New York Review of Books, $18.95 (152pp) ISBN 978-1-59017-076-2
Dino Buzzati's tale The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily completes the fall releases for the Children's Collection. The story, which also contains sections of poetry, details Leander, King of the Bears, and his subjects' forgotten ursine incursion from the fabled mountains of Sicily, as they attempt to overthrow the evil duke of Cormorant Castle. Buzzati's drawings retain a fun, retro-European feel, while his occasional full-color illustrations emphasize the town's red rooftops and celebrated architecture.
