Three leaves of humanity Raffaele Castelli

Can a six or a little older boy write short stories that he experienced during the early part of his life? If it is thoughts and drawings pinned on an agenda received as a gift and then recomposed to form a story, then it is credible. And that's what is told in this book. Three different and really happened facts that the protagonist witnessed in person. Everything is set in a small mountain community, a town called Frosolone, towards the end of the 1950s, when there was certainly more humanity among people, not yet distracted by an equivocal modern world. Then, in the simple reality of those days, the facts acquired greater relevance and were engaging for everyone. The three stories, recalled with the eyes and psychology of the child of the time, are each titled with the same name as the main character, in any case actor of that story. These are three particular and sometimes moving stories, based on solidarity among people. In them there are those who were ready to solve, with patience and humility, the unpleasant events that happened in the lives of others or to give their skills and hearts to those who needed them.
