Horatio and the Lute Vincenzo Blaschi

Opulentus is a peaceful kingdom where its inhabitants spend their days listening and dancing to Horatio's fine lute playing. But one day, a greedy monster destroys the village in search of jewels and gold. Worse still, it plans on attacking the royal palace and stealing the king and queen's most valuable possessions. It becomes clear to Horatio that only he can stop the monster and restore the village at the same time. But will his plan work? Join our courageous friend as he transforms himself from gentle musician to fearless hero, in this tale of good versus greed. This is a beautifully illustrated and deliciously dark tale about a gentle musician who saves the king and queen from ruin. It is set in the medieval world, in an imaginary kingdom called Opulentus. Please note that this story may be a little scary for some young children.
