Features: The pharmaceutical salesperson Pierangelo often travels for work, and his little daughter asks him to tell her a story every night. So, no matter where he is, he calls his little daughter every night to tell her a story. The book collects more than sixty stories he told. Due to the cost of phone calls, these stories are relatively short, but when he makes a sale, the stories will be a bit longer. These stories are rich in themes, diverse, vivid, and interesting, sometimes even the switchboard operator would stop all the phone connections just to listen to his stories. The book won the International Hans Christian Andersen Award.
