Telephone Tales
Author: Gianni Rodari, Valerio Vidali (Illustrator), Antony Shugaar (Translator)
Every night, at nine o’clock, wherever he is, Mr. Bianchi, an accountant who often has to travel for work, calls his daughter and tells her a bedtime story. But since it's still the 20th century world of pay phones, each story has to be told in the time that a single coin will buy. — Reminiscent of Scheherazade and One Tho...  more », Gianni Rodari’s Telephone Tales is composed of many stories -- in fact, seventy short stories, with one for each phone call.

Or, it’s a land filled with butter men, roads paved with chocolate, or a young shrimp who has the courage to do things in a different way from what he's supposed to do.
