«El misterio de Buster Keaton» is a children's and young adult book by Miquel Obiols, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (150 pages, in Spanish).
The book rebels against conventions and plays with language: words fight against the alphabet, transform into calligrams and images, fly, run, or disappear for a siesta. Miquel Obiols makes complex ideas simple and manages to make the serious Buster Keaton laugh, the actor who never showed a smile.
With illustrations by Carme Solé; 1989 edition, number 72 of the Austral Juvenil collection.
Recommended for young readers seeking a playful and stimulating read, with a creative approach to language and images.
