Il libro dei Vetuschi
The Gormwits are the world’s dumbest people. They live high up on a remote, arid hill where there’sabsolutely nothing to write home about. The Gormwits are so dumb that they themselves are surprised they haven’t gone extinct yet. No one knows exactly how or why, but young Yuki’s the most intelligent person in the whole village – the only one who actually thinks before he does something. When the other villagers decide to paint the Royal Palace a foul-smelling fartblue color, a journey begins – one featuring catapults, odd encounters and even an attack on a volcano!
