Christmas in the Aeolian Islands (Natale nelle Eolie)

Le generazioni passate che vivevano nelle bellissime Isole Eolie celebravano il Natale secondo
antiche tradizioni. Allora si viveva una vita semplice.
Questa e' la storia (in inglese e in italiano) di un nonno dell'epoca moderna che ricorda come era il natale quando era bambino.

Christmas in the Aeolian Islands (Natale nelle Eolie) is written in both Italian and English. The story, music and illustrations are by Diana Santamaria. The Italian version was written by Gaetano Rando and his beautiful narrations in English and in Italian are on the music CD which accompanies this book. This is the simple easy-to-follow large-print story of one modern-day grandfather (nonno) who remembers what Christmas was like when he was a child and life was lived simply in the Aeolian Islands. The reading age best suited is primary school. Content suits anyone from ages 2 to 100+ . This book makes an absolutely beautiful Christmas gift especially to people of Italian Aeolian heritage of which there are many thousands of us now scattered across the globe. (Released September 2015)
