LUIGI AND THE LONG-NOSED SOLDIER

By

Pub Date: Nov. 4th, 1963
Publisher: Macmillan

Every Saturday, skinny, bony-kneed Luigi, with violin and lunch box in hand, climbed aboard the bus in Italy to go to Switzerland for his music lesson with Professor Tagliatine. When a new power-crazed customs officer took over the weekly border inspection, Luigi's leisurely routine was upset. The Professor's successful attempts to teach the rude officer a lesson, and the comical discovery of mustached smugglers, form a lively picture book.
