«El contador de contes» is the illustrated children's story by Saki, published by Ediciones Ekaré in paperback (48 pages, in Catalan).
In a train car, three restless children travel with their aunt and a stranger. To entertain them, the aunt tells virtuous but dull stories, and the man responds with an unconventional tale that departs from usual morals. The story celebrates imagination over moralizing teaching.

Book recommended for readers aged 9 and up.
Hector Hugh Munro, popularly known by his pen name Saki and also frequently as H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirise Edwardian society and culture. He is considered to be a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, Munro himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse.
