A semi-autobiographical novel, stirred by the stigma of an amour fou for an older, alcoholic man, The Prodigy Girls is also a comedy in several acts, and a tale with hints of gothic horror.

Das Buch kombiniert die Kunstgeschichte mit Zeichnungen, eindrucksvollen Aufklappbildern und unterhaltsamen Aktivitäten, um die Entdeckung der berühmtesten Kunstwerke von Velázquez zu ermöglichen.

Children can find traditional art tedious and irrelevant, while being dragged around musty art galleries by well meaning adults often only serves to fuel their resentment.

A book which combines the history of art with images, spectacular pop-ups and enjoyable activities to help readers discover the most celebrated works of Velázquez.
