Zoro is a little boy in 17th-century Italy, long before airplanes flew in the sky. But Zoro is also an apprentice to the artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci--and Leonardo is experimenting with a revolutionary flying machine!

Anholt's fine illustrations appear on every page and include reproductions of works by the artists.
