Out of a bitter storm comes a gift that saves a village. In this
adaptation of an Italian folktale, the young fisherman Gianni
braves the thawing, ice-bound lagoon of Burano to catch fish to
feed the starving people of his island. His fiancee, Nicoletta,
prays for his safety. Gianni, swept from his fishing boat, is
rescued by a mermaid who whips the water into a length of elegant
lace, which she gives to Gianni for Nicoletta's wedding veil. This
gorgeously illustrated tale recounts the mythical origins of Burano
lace, whose production has long been a vital part of the island's
economy and vibrant culture, ensuring the islanders would never go
hungry. The lace is still famed throughout the world for its
scalloped, wave-like patterns.
