With a fully international cast and crew, Geronimo Stilton Live is a visual spectacle that children in Delhi will never forget," says Neeraj Jain, managing director of Scholastic India. Geronimo Stilton's stories are adventurous and full of surprises but there are no weapons, rude words, magic and astrology. His behaviour is based on universal ethical values, like being approachable for others, the desire to do good, the commitment to grow and improve oneself. Italian fiction writer and author of several books for children, Elisabetta Dami is the creator of Geronimo.
