The Book of Spanish Monsters Libro de monstruos españoles. Ana Cristina Herreros Las Tres Edades. 177.
THE BOOK
2008, 248 pages, illustrated by Jesús Gabán, from 8 years old. This book of tales is an attempt to have our monsters back, now that they are on the verge of extinction since nobody talks about them in these “happy days” when children find themselves deprived of the chance to express their fears, concerns and sorrows. Finding out their names, what they look like, where they live, which habits they have or how to live with them helps us lose our fear of them, though not our respect. Rescued of our rich oral tradition by the author, they all inhabit the pages of this book, marvellously illustrated by Jesús Gabán.RIGHTS SOLD TO
