Questo delizioso racconto lungo di Edmondo De Amicis, ci offre un quadro tutto diverso dall’idea che possiamo esserci fatta dall’autore del libro Cuore. La storia, che si snoda tra personaggi descritti e tratteggiati da un bonario senso umoristico, ci porta nel mondo delle insegnanti e dell’ entusiasmo per la neo materia dell’educazione fisica che si stava diffondendo in quel periodo nella scuola italiana, anch’essa ai primi passi.
