The Golden Gondola and La Gondole Dorée

BySandra S C ArthurAnne-Caroline Dupont Salter

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
A special edition featuring Sandra Arthur's "The Golden Gondola" read aloud book for children is now offered in both English and French. This engaging story in verse about an orphan called Maria, is certain to amuse both young and old. This lonely schoolgirl meets an elegant lion who has magical powers to take her on adventures around the world, to experience different kinds of food and music. The flamboyant illustrations by Will Stevens, with their bold colors greatly appeal. Finally, the musical education (and video links that can be found online) and the opportunity to learn more about unusual musical instruments adds to the adventure. French rhymes differ from English language rhymes in many ways. The subtle complexities of the language make creating poetry in French both a challenge and a delight. Taking the words of The Golden Gondola, translating the spirit and storyline and delivering a poem in French is therefore a tall order but Anne C Dupont Salter has done just this.
