Angeliki Darlasi - Rights Guide

13 “I just saw an angel, falling to earth. Rain must have swept him away!” said Rallou but, as usual, none of us paid much attention to her; Toto and I were too busy counting raindrops. The next day, though, we found the angel in the cornfields… A teacher who dreams of a better future for the children, a crook, a violent uncle looking for a treasure, a policeman who secretly plays the violin, the master of a circus whose life has changed because of a banana skin, a blind poet who steal books from the city’s library are some of the adults who take part in the story, offering their own point of view; adults that sometimes are for and sometimes against the children’s efforts to save a wounded angel… just before war comes once more to this land. A road story of magical realism where great adventure and lyrical emotion are combined to form this deeply anti-war, humanistic hymn to friendship and childhood. The time we hid an angel FOR AGES 10 AND UP In the flood of books on the market some stand out, here and there, some small gems, books that shine, with originality, full of beauty.

Angeliki Darlasi wrote a book addressed not only to Greek children but to the children and young people of every country. It deserves to be read by young and ajults; and for them to reflect accordingly.” V.D.
