The absolutely true story of La Befana
Paolo Mazzucato, author
Middle Grade; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)
Part rumor, part folklore and part magical invention, here is the classic origin story of the Italian Befana and her Christmas Epiphany visit to all children, naughty and nice.
Myth meets reality as you learn what “actually” happened that fateful night long ago when three wiseguys, or…wise men, came searching for a newborn baby king and got a warm bowl of homemade minestrone instead.
