Zoro is the young pupil of the amazing painter, sculptor, scientist and inventor, Leonardo da Vinci.

Every day he works hard in Leonrado's workshop, mixing colours, cleaning paintbrushes and practising his drawings.

But he is never allowed inside the secret locked room, where Leonardo spends hours hammering and sawing at a mysterious invention.

One day Leonardo brings a mischievous boy named Salai to work for him.

He is so intrigued by the secret room that he steals the keys to find out what is inside...Leonardo and the Flying Boy provides an exciting introduction to the great genius of the Italian Renaissance, with reproductions of Leonardo's own work.
