After many battles, scrapes and dangers, the bears' reign is established over the land, but their victory comes at a price.Modern reviews of this vintage classic:“Out of Italy, which gave the world Pinocchio, has come a new and fine children's story, the kind that grown-ups borrow from kids” —Time“The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily is one of the noblest books I know.” —Lemony Snicket“Tongue-in-cheek humour enhanced by Buzzati's surreal illustrations will delight young readers with a taste for the bizarre” —The School Librarian
