Picture Book Available The Mona Lisa Caper Rick Jacobson Illustrated by Laura Fernandez and Rick Jacobson On the run with the most famous painting of all time – the story of a heist that stunned the world ISBN 0-88776-726-5 US $15.95 CAN $22.99 picture book/art/painting/biography ages 5 to 7 24 pages 8 x 10 full-color throughout hardcover with jacket Rights: World ex North America 40/carton JNF007010 JNF006050 Available The Mona Lisa Caper is based on true events that began to unfold on Monday, August 21, 1911, when Vincenzo Perugia shocked the world by stealing the most famous of the many treasures in the Louvre. Though Vincenzo was a thief, he meant well. He simply wanted to return the painting to the Italian people in the mistaken belief that it had been stolen from them. Eventually, inevitably, Vincenzo was captured in Florence and put on trial. Italians gave him their hearts for his patriotism. In fact, he received so much food, wine, clothing, and furniture, that he had to be moved to a larger cell! Throughout Rick Jacobson’s lively text, Mona Lisa herself narrates the story of her trip back to the city of her creation. The playful art Rick has painted along with his wife, Laura Fernandez, heightens the fun. Not only is it Keystone-Cops funny, it is a sound introduction to the painting that continues to delight, amaze, and mystify hundreds of years after Leonardo da Vinci’s death.
