Vendela in Venice

93 pp. | Farrar/R&S | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 91-29-64559-X $$18.00
(2) 4-6 Translated by Patricia Crampton. Illustrated by Inga-Karin Eriksson. An enchanting introduction to Venice, as seen by a Swedish child whose father takes her there for Easter vacation. Besides Vendela's quest to see the original horse sculptures, which now appear in replica on San Marco's façade, there's also glass-blowing, gondola construction, good eating, and fascinating bits of history. Eriksson's cityscapes are peopled with affectionately observed characters.
