I hate to say this, but all stories are based on real events, with little twists and name changes so I don't get killedbypotatogun.I'm not kidding.I should add that this book and its cover is pretty clear. It portrays funny European attitudes that resulted from Mussolini, Salazar and other dictators that made life difficult, to say the least. Old farts had no toys, little education, and... hunger. Joy came from really simple, albeit ridiculously stupid simple things. If stories of hunting, farts and idiots poo-poo you, feel free to comment as you please. Otherwise, enjoy :)
