Adapted by celebrated poet and children's literature expert Naomi Lewis from Fulvio Testa's original Italian work, the narrative carries a gentle yet profound moral tone that resonates with readers of all ages. Testa's lush, dreamlike illustrations bring the natural world to vivid life, while Lewis's lyrical prose elevates the story into a quiet meditation on wonder, freedom, and the cost of greed. The tale instructs young readers — and the adults who share it with them — that some things are most magnificent when left untouched, making it a timeless addition to any thoughtful child's library.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826067189979,"sku":"2026770000612-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9012ed1f-aa02-499e-8444-8c6ff3d507fd.png?v=1780311936","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000612-secondhand-the-butterfly-collector","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
