About The absolutely true story of La Befana
Part rumor, part folklore and part magical invention, the classic origin story of the Italian Befana and her Christmas Epiphany visit to all children, naughty and nice, is presented here in a colorfully illustrated storybook. Myth meets reality as we learn how things “actually” happened that fateful night when three wise guys, or…wise men, came searching for a newborn baby king and got a warm bowl of homemade minestrone instead.
A playful reimagining of a traditional, Italian tale, told through warmth, humor and a few delicious, Italian recipes.
