A fable for children and adults: a story of life, death, and terrorismâ€”in the grand tradition of ExupÃ©ryâ€™s ,The Little Prince,When we first meet 93-year-old millionaire Baron Lamberto, he has been diagnosed with 24 life-threatening ailmentsâ€”one for each of the 24 banks he owns. But when he takes the advice of an Egyptian mystic and hires servants to chant his name over and over again, he seems to not only get better, but younger.,Except then a terrorist group lays siege to his island villa, his team of bank managers has to be bussed in to help with the ransom negotiations, and a media spectacle breaks outâ€†.â€†.â€†.,A hilarious and strangely moving tale that seems ripped from the headlinesâ€”although actually written during the time the Red Brigades were terrorizing Italyâ€”Gianni Rodariâ€™s ,Lamberto, Lamberto, Lamberto, has become one of Italyâ€™s most beloved fables. Never before translated into English, the novel is a reminder, as Rodari writes, that â€œthere are things that only happen in fairytales.â€
