This is the very first picture book I bought for my daughter. She was still in my tummy! I fell in love withe the amazing Italian illustrations, and of course I had been to Capri in my travels. I love the story and the illustrations are well, just magical!

amazing art and cool story. the only two problems are that the man and woman get together (REALLY, MS. WINTERSON?) and the fact that the cat needs more screen time.

Good kids' book, but not great. Had to read it because she's my favorite author, but I think once will do me.

What a beauty, both in language and in illustration. A good, short, fantastical story that draws some attention to what it is to be poor and what it is to be rich. I would yearn for a different ending, IF the author was not Winterson, but for Winterson a very unusual ending, so perfect for the story.
