La muñeca olvidada

I'm curious whether her background in adult literature influenced the whimsical tone and setting of this book. Did she want to introduce younger readers to her love of Italy?

The descriptions made me nostalgic for childhood adventures. I'm wondering if Ferrante aimed to evoke that sense of wonder and curiosity in young readers.

The artwork seemed to add a layer of enchantment. I'd love to hear if the illustrations were planned from the start or evolved during the writing process.
