La mosca verdolina
By Giorgio Parisi
Illustrations by Camilla Pintonato
What child would want to go to sleep if their grandfather were a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who is also an ingenious inventor of fairy tales? Giorgio Parisi's artistry takes the form of five bedtime stories that entertain and question, with the simplicity and enchantment of the imagination.
“I wanted to say that I saw a fly photographed very closely. It had huge eyes and a greenish body.” “Microscopic photographs of insects are beautiful,” says Grandpa. “But now sleep.” “Oof!” “Oof!” “Oof!” “You can oaf as long as you like, but now it’s time to sleep,” Grandpa repeats, turning off the light. “But first tell us a fairy tale,” says the older grandson. “But not just any fairy tale,” says the middle one. “A fairy tale with a fly!” cries the youngest.
