By Giovanna Zoboli & Mariachiara Di Giorgio
*** A book about dreaming big aand the nightmares that come with those big dreams. This month's pick is full of hares, love and soup. Sometimes its okay to just enjoy something for what it is and to spend time with the ones you love because those dreams and realities are often the sweetest.
A sublime treasure of a book this month, deliciously tantalising...
Life is not about chasing fame and fortune but spending time with those we love.
Mr Lepron lives in the forest and has a toasty warm home and many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Oh, and he adores vegetables and making soup. Mr Lepron also enjoys napping and he always dreams of being a famous chef, cooking his magnificent soup. After his vivid, fantastical dreams, Mr Lepron's soup tastes out-of-this-world irresistible. So irresistible, that Mr Lepron becomes famous. So irresistible, that Mr Lepron opens a soup factory that starts working around the clock. But as his dreams turn to nightmares about the factory, Mr Lepron's soup loses its magical flavour, and he realizes that what matters most in the world is not fame and riches, but time spent with his beloved children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, playing, laughing, napping and, sometimes, cooking his soup ... with love.
