Compared to the horrors of real life, Long John Silver and Cthulhu made for positively cuddly company; but little boys raised by beasts may well grow up beastly - or never grow up at all. Waking or sleeping, the obsessions of Mari's youth seem to haunt his every adult thought.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the tail end of the 1960s, the thirteen-year-old Michelino spends his summers at his grandparents modest estate in Nasca, near Lake Maggiore, losing himself in the tales of horror, adventure, and mystery shelved in his grandfathers library. The greatest mystery hes ever encountered, however, doesnt come from a book it's the groundskeeper, Felice, a sometimes frightening, sometimes gentle, always colourful man of uncertain age who speaks an enchanting dialect and whose memory gets worse with each passing day. When Michelino volunteers to help the old man by providing him with clever mnemonic devices to keep his memory alive, the boy soon finds himself obsessed with piecing together the eerie hodgepodge of Felices biography.a quest that leads to the uncovering of skeletons in Nazi uniforms in the attic, to Felices admission that he can hear the voices of the dead, and to a new perspective on Felices endless war against the insatiable local slugs, who are by no means merely a horticultural threat.And yet nothing could be more fascinating to Michelino than Felices own secret origins. Where did he come from? Is he the victim or the villain of his story? Is he a noble hero, a holy fool, or perhaps the very thing that Michelino most wants and fears: a real-life monster. A lonely little boy's unlikely friendship with his grandparents' grizzled old groundskeeper leads him down the rabbit hole from a life lived solely in books to a wonderful and terrifying hell of long-buried secrets, shadowy partisans, murdered Nazis, thefts, lies, doppelgangers, bloodthirsty slugs, and the unquiet dead.
