You, Naughty Mum!

You, Naughty Mum! Synopsis

A truly varied and innovative collection, branded Lucio Angelini. Next to apparently traditional fairy tales, in which the author had fun practicing the so-called "reversal of the reader's expectations" (You, Naughty Mum!, for example, very enjoyable even by an adult audience), we find ironic reinterpretations of famous fairy tales (Whitedwarf and the Seven Snows) or fairy tales in which the real and the surreal intertwine in a particularly liberating mix (in Inside Oronzo's Big Head, the child Oronzo takes revenge in a totally unpredictable way for the pedagogical sadism of his teacher). Particularly interesting are some "meta-tales", in which the author does not hesitate to highlight typical "ingredients" or "clichés" or "construction mechanisms" of traditional fairy tales.
