Francesco And Francesca (1) (Bettina)

First published in 1962 by Oxford University Press, 'Francesco and Francesca' is one of a series of charming post-war children's books written and illustrated by Bettina Ehrlich. Francesco is an Italian boy with no shoes. One day while looking into the window of the smartest shoe store in town he sees a lovely young girl smiling back at him. This is Francesca, and he cannot forget her. Winter comes and with it the Grand Carnival in nearby Milan. Francesco dresses as a brigand with hand-me-down shoes that are too big for him. But in a bid to impress Francesca, he swaps costumes with a boy dressed as a velvet prince with smart red leather shoes to match. Mayhem follows and it looks as if Francesco will miss the Carnival fun altogether. Will he also lose his beloved Francesca? For Pity Sake Publishing has secured the global rights to republish six of Bettina's works, 'Francesco and Francesca' being the first.
