The first English translation of a classic adventure involving two
very different twins by the celebrated author of The Letter for the
King
Laurenzo and Jiacomo are identical twins, as alike as two drops of
water. No one can tell them apart (which comes in very handy for playing
tricks on their teachers). And no one can split them up.
But when tragedy strikes their carefree young lives, they must make
their own way in the world. As each brother chooses his own path -
hardworking Laurenzo to make beautiful objects from gold and silver, and
fearless Jiacomo to travel, explore and become an unlikely thief - it is
the start of a series of incredible escapades that will test them to
their limits.
Along the way they will face terrible danger, solve cunning riddles,
become prisoners in a castle, sail across the ocean, fall in and out of
love, stay at an enchanted inn, help save a priceless pearl, even become
kings by mistake. They must use all their talents, wiles and wisdom to
survive.
Are you ready to join them?
