Mariedl | Una storia gigantesca

In a small valley there was a big mountain. On its summit, in a small village, lived Mariedl. She was so big, so gigantic, that going out of the house was a torment: laughter, teasing, eye-rolling were the order of the day.

So, the day a little mustachioed man appeared and asked her to join his circus, Mariedl followed him. He would take her to all the cities of Europe and she would be the centrepiece of his show! Unfortunately, once on stage, Mariedl realised that all the spectators saw her as a monster. So, together with her new friends, the lion man, the tattooed woman and Victor, the strongest man in the world, she devises a plan to escape and live a happy life.

Based on the true story of a young woman who lived in the South Tyrol
in the 19th century, Mariedl, Una storia gigantesca is an emotional and moving tale with illustrations that mix brown, dark green and pink, and
handmade lettering.
