Il Cartavolante

These activity books are a tribute to our favorite literary classics, offering readers the chance to immerse themselves in timeless characters and settings. With a wide range of games and puzzles—including quizzes, calligraphy exercises, mazes, and brain teasers—fun is guaranteed. You'll also find fascinating insights into the characters, settings, and historical context of each story. In true Cartavolante tradition, there’s no shortage of entertaining activities (paper dolls, dioramas, coloring pages, and even themed recipes!) to explore our favorite stories and characters in a completely new way.

They are available in Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish.

The Cartavolante is an illustrated publication dedicated to the great classics of literature. Its uniqueness lies in its format: a large sheet (50x70 cm) that, as it gradually unfolds, transports the reader into the emotions and charm of a literary masterpiece. The pages of the Cartavolante strike a perfect balance between text, lettering, and illustration—a mix of classic and contemporary styles. With its paper wings, the Cartavolante aims to present the classics in a fresh and original way, appealing both to die-hard fans of a book and to those curious newcomers ready to be captivated by a story they haven’t yet read. The reverse side of each Cartavolante features a large illustration that can be hung or framed like a poster.
