Customer Reviews
Old Befana
Love the book. I use it every year when we talk about Christams around the world in my classroom. I received the book quickly in beautiful conditon.
Great Italian Legend story
I loved this book as I am Italian decent and remember hearing of the "Befana" in relation to Christmas in Italy but did not know what it meant. I always thought it was the Italian word for "Santa Clause" so now I know what it is.
Italian Charm
Great book, love DePaola's stuff. The book reads in just 5 or so minutes. I bought it for my daughter so she understands why we celebrate the Ephipany every year. It is a fun Italian tradition and makes the Christmas season last just a little longer!
