«Cuentos del cuervo de Arabel» is the children's novel by Joan Aiken, published by Alfaguara in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Arabel finds in her kitchen an enormous black raven that has devoured everything in the fridge; far from being scared, she adopts it and calls it Mortimer. Together they star in a series of zany adventures, with absurd humor and lots of imagination, completed with illustrations by Quentin Blake.
Includes the first three stories of Arabel and Mortimer: «El cuervo de Arabel», «La cobra negra escapada» and «La panera». Translation by Bárbara McShane and Javier Alfaya.
Recommended for young readers who enjoy funny stories about mischievous animals and girl protagonists.
