The collection "Tales of Mouse Tobia" includes stories set in the park of "2 Giugno" scholastic complex in Spezia, in which new coexists with historical, because where now various orders of schools rise, used to be the Station of the XXI° Infantry Regiment, that later became a prison and a place of torture for those who opposed the fascist regime. Their painful screams are fortunately replaced today by children's festive shouts, focused on play. Here, on a great stone in the shadow of a leafy plane tree, take place lessons, simultaneously to those in the classes of primary school, of teacher owl to an improvised and unique class of animals, very different from each other and, in real life, even enemies, but oddly friends in the magic garden where everything could happen, even that differences are overcome in the name of friendship and solidarity. Leader of the group is Mouse Tobia, a likable little mouse who lives in a breach in the ancient walls that enclose school, he loves cars and hides a secret passed down through generations; he is a philosophical and unselfish mouse who always has the right words for everybody.
