Author
Giovanni Avolio

He has lived in Rome his entire life, and after working for years in theater as a writer, actor, and director, he found himself almost by chance joyfully working in a children's bookstore. Looking back, he’s somewhat surprised by his journey, especially since as a boy he was a passionate non-reader. The passion that has guided him all these years is his love for stories, and he tries in every way to link it to another passion of his—games, which led him to write gamebooks. He first encountered druids through the Asterix comics, one of the few things he used to read. Notes for Young Druids is his first novel for young readers.
