Superb Illustrations and Moving Story

I bought this book several years ago and it has been a while since I read it last time. When I pulled it out from my bookshelf today and read it again, I was still amazed by the story and especially the illustration of this book. The masquerade in this picture book is so fascinating. The masks, costumes and the way they are presented really allures you back to the time and place this story happened. If you are planning to visit Venice, you may want to read this book and get some ideas about this Venetian folktale.

Beautiful story, gorgeous artwork

The story is reasonably simple but it's beautiful and magical. The artwork is unbelievable. I judge books by their covers, and this one passes!
