What’s this book about? It’s about Federico, a sad clown, the beautiful witch Nadira and the wicked imp Rumpelstiltskin … and Rafinelli’s circus, of course. The story also tells that family is of great importance, even if your parents are a boisterous cannibal clown and a bearded clowness, that true laughter should be friendly, and that love and friendship save the world. The evidence is in the feelings that arise between a kind prince, a red wigged clown, and a strange young lady with an eye patch. 

One last thing. Far from everyone laughs at others’ failures. There are way more good and kind people than wicked and evil ones — the former are just harder to notice.
