Luigi Spagnol changed the face of children’s publishing, bringing great international successes to Italy – like Harry Potter and The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly – and great authors, like Pullman and Almond, before they became global phenomena. More than an editor, he is a man who has made a mission of his passion – children’s literature – with the unshakeable certainty that reading leads to happiness. His bequest is one of the most significant and respected children’s catalogues in the world, which has sparked the imagination of hundreds of thousands of young readers in the past, present and future.
