A sumptuous magical tale, told in verse, about a lonely Venetian girl, Maria, who with a magic lion commences a whirlwind adventure to discover music in faraway places. This is a story about a sad orphan, a magic lion and magical flying gondola that children ages 3 to 9 love hearing again and again. The rhythm and rhyme of Sandra Arthur's story, The Golden Gondola, makes it an excellent read aloud. The flamboyant illustrations by Will Stevens, with their bold colours 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 a great adventure.

Book Description
It's the summer of 1967, and 18-year-old American Bridey McKenna is in Europe for the first time. It's supposed to be the ultimate mother-daughter vacation, but nothing about it is working out that way. Chances for adventure, romance and enlightenment look slim-to-none until Bridey arrives in Umbria and meets Alessandro - someone who could change everything about her future. Alessandro is no ordinary singing waiter, and he's the last person on earth Bridey's mother wants in her daughter's life. Bridey's only hope is to connect in Rome with her worldly aunt and uncle - a man who holds a position at the British embassy in Jordan that no one ever quite defines. When an emergency takes Bridey off the tour, on to Athens and further into her aunt and uncle's world than Bridey ever dreamed, the complex terrain of family, love and womanhood holds a surprising itinerary.
