«Abel, el ascensorista» is the children's novel by Annie M. G. Schmidt, published by Noguer Y Caralt Editores in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist works as an elevator attendant in a department store; one day he presses the highest button in the elevator and the cabin rises until it flies off with him and other passengers towards South America. The work combines fantasy and adventure, and is set in a world where the everyday becomes absurd. It is considered a classic read for young readers.
It is part of the Mundo Mágico series, number 99. The original title of the work is «Abeltje», originally published in 1953.
Recommended for children and young readers who enjoy fantastic adventure stories and ingenious protagonists.
Anna Maria Geertruida "Annie" Schmidt was a Dutch writer. She is called the mother of the Dutch theatrical song, and the queen of Dutch children's literature, praised for her "delicious Dutch idiom," and considered one of the greatest Dutch writers. An ultimate honour was extended to her posthumously, in 2007, when a group of Dutch historians compiled the "Canon of the Netherlands" and included Schmidt, alongside national icons such as Vincent van Gogh and Anne Frank.
