Jackie's review
The Baron in the Trees
by Italo Calvino
After an argument with his parents, 12-year-old Cosimo decides to live in the trees and never sets foot on ground again for his entire life.
While I rarely ever use the phrases "delightful romp" or "rollicking good time," I think they both fit this book. I enjoyed it far more than I expected to. Just enough sex and death to keep it from being a children's book - though kids will love it too. C'mon - it's got pirates! What's not to love?
