What story is this?

Humorous

Picture Book

A heartbreaking love story.

We meant a thriller… No no, wait: it’s a fantasy story! (there are mermaids)

Um… But there’s also an alien abduction…

…and mistaken identities…

In short, what kind of story is this??

There’s a guy with a crown, surely a prince. Oh, no, he’s dressed up for a carnival party. It will therefore certainly be set in Venice… Oh no! It’s in Trofarello! But come on! What story is this?

A book that plays with narrative genres, a tale that talks about tales where the reader directly enters and becomes part of the story.
