This book, which stems from a collaboration with Timbuktu Labs – the first and multi-award winning digital magazine dedicated entirely to children – provides an innovative interpretation of the famous and romantic story describing the adventures of young Clara in the Kingdom of Toys. The creation of a paper version of the Timbuktu app by the same name enables the reader to move between the book and the infinite possibilities offered by its digital counterpart. Philip Giordano’s elegant illustrations underscore the magical atmosphere of this timeless story. AUTHOR: Francesca Cavallo is an award-winning theater director and playwright.
