Children's Books

Tolkien in Foreign Language Editions Note: these books are special orders, so they will take longer to ship than other products. When J.R.R. Tolkien penned The Hobbit, which was published in 1937, he couldn't have known that he was beginning one of the most famous and beloved story cycles the world has ever known. Its initial popularity prompted his publisher to ask for a sequel and Tolkien started writing The Lord of the Rings, which turned out to be a huge opus requiring twelve years for completion - and history was in the making. By the time of Tolkien's death in 1973 The Lord of the Rings had a huge word-of-mouth cult following, with many popular editions, and was part of the cultural background for youth and adults of all ages. Peter Jackson's movie Ring cycle of the Tolkien series has made history again (and is in its own way an achievement in cinema much like Tolkien's in literature, but that is another story) - and has brought Tolkien's writings into a prominence that is perhaps at its peak. Happily, this means that the many foreign editions of Tolkien will probably remain in print for some time, and more may be brought to the fore. Signore Degli Anelli (Lord of the Rings) 3 volumes in one book - hardback $79.95   More about Tolkien in Foreign Language Editions...

Harry Potter in Italian Note: these books are special orders, so they will take longer to ship than other products. Now your children (and why not yourself as well?) can read the best-selling, fly-off-the-bookshelf Harry Potter series in the language of your choice! The beloved series that enchants kids and keeps adults spellbound is now available in 24 languages. Seven titles are available: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Harry Potter is rumored to be habit-forming, so don't read one unless you're ready to read them all! Harry Potter e la pietra filosofale 1 (hardbound) $69.95   Harry Potter e la camera dei segreti 2 (hardbound) $69.95   Harry Potter e il prigioniero di Azkaban 3 (hardbound) $69.95   Harry Potter e il calice di fuoco 4 (hardbound) $69.95   Harry Potter e l'ordine della fenice 5 (hardbound) $99   Harry Potter e il principe mezzosangue 6 (hardbound) $99   Harry Potter e i doni de la morte 7 (hardbound) $99   All Seven Volumes $550   More about the Harry Potter series...

The Little Prince in Italian Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Note: these books are special orders, so they will take longer to ship than other products. Equally loved by children and adults alike, The Little Prince is one of the most translated books on the planet - which is fortunate, as we are able to offer here editions in many languages for your (or your child's) enjoyment! With wonderful and whimsical illustrations by the author, this delightful tale straddles a world between adulthood and childhood, philosophy and fantasy, satire and fable, and reminds one not of great children's authors of the past, but of more unclassifiable writers like Carroll, Milne, and Tolkien, who seem to be writing as much for older as younger readers, and whose writings can be enjoyed on many levels. Written in 1943 by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who disappeared shortly after in WWII during a flying mission for the Allies in Northern Africa, it became an instant cult classic and has remained so ever since. Enjoy The Little Prince in the language of your choice, and check regularly, as we will be adding new versions as they become available. Italian - Il piccolo principe (paperback) Translated by Nini Bompiani Bregoli $31.95   Ladin (Italian Regional) - Le Pice Prinz (paperback) Translated by Giovanni Mischí $24.95   Napoletano-Calabrese - O Princepe Piccerillo (paperback) Translated by Roberto D'Ajello $43.95   More about The Little Prince...

Language Littles Speaking Doll for Italian These soft-bodied, sixteen-inch plush dolls represent children from France, Italy, China, Japan, Israel, Germany, Russia and Spanish-speaking countries, and are expressly designed to represent many ethnic backgrounds, as opposed to the blonde, blue-eyed prototype so often seen on toy store shelves. What makes them unique is their ability to introduce foreign language to children from preschool through grade school. Unlike other speaking dolls, Language Littles have a human recorded voice. Simply press one of the dolls hands and she will recite a series of "kid friendly" phrases. Press the other hand and she will count, recite colors, and/or days of the week; press a heart on the doll's knee and she will respond by saying "I love you". Each doll offers a direct translation from English to her designated language with perfect inflection. They offer such instant rewards that kids will delight in showing off their 'fluency' in a new language, while keeping them gleefully occupied.
