THE ADVENTURES OF ALE AND FRANCI IN A COLLECTION OF STORIES ABOUT THE LIFE OF THE FOREST, DEDICATED TO EVERY SEASON OF THE YEAR, WRITTEN BY A FAMOUS WRITER AND POPULARIZER EXPERT ON WOOD’S LIFE AND WILD ANIMALS

Alessandra and her brother Francesco occasionally leave the city and go to visit their uncles who live in the mountains. In every season of the year they live big and small adventures in nature and in the forest, learning the secrets of animals and people who live there. From the den where the bear has spent hibernation to the night fight between deers in love, from the tracks left on the snow by the hare to the acrobatics of a squirrel, a collection of illustrated stories dedicated to animals that we can meet in all the woods. A narrative that combines real entertaining information with love for nature and will surprise and enchant children through the words of one of the greatest experts in wildlife and forest life.

Daniele Zovi, after working for 40 years in the State Forestry Corp, has written  a book on the world of plants Alberi sapienti, antiche foreste (UTET 2018) and on wildlife Italia selvatica (UTET 2019). In 2020 he published  a fiction book Autobiografia della neve (DeAgostini) and also his first book for kids Ale e Rovere. Il fantastico viaggio degli alberi. He travels extensively in Italy to talk about these themes in bookshops, natural history museums and schools, because he is convinced that a better knowledge of nature is the starting point for a new and true alliance between man and the other living creatures.
