Gina Ingoglia

Blurb: One day out there.

Quasimodo longs to join the world beyond his gloomy bell tower, far from the influence of his evil guardian, Frollo. On the morning of the Festival of Fools, the lonely hunchback gets his chance. With the help of his comical gargoyle friends, Hugo, Victor and Laverne, Quasimodo joins the crow in the streets of Paris below. There he meets and falls in love with a beautiful gypsy girl named Esmeralda and is crowned King of Fools! But the celebration ends when Frollo learns of Quasimodo's escape from the cathedral and of his friendship with Esmeralda. Can Quasimodo find the courage to face Frollo's wrath once more, even to save Esmeralda?

Based on the Disney movie, this classic story of comedy and adventure contains eight pages of full-colour stills from the film.
