«El secuestro de la bibliotecaria» is a children's story by Margaret Mahy published by Santillana Educación in paperback, 48 pages, in Spanish.
Miss Laburnum, a brave and kind-hearted librarian, is kidnapped by bandits who want to ransom her to the town council. But the plan goes awry: a terrible case of measles and the young woman's ingenuity turn the library into the setting of a zany adventure, and the kidnappers end up becoming reading enthusiasts.
Published in 2002, with illustrations by Quentin Blake, in the Próxima Parada 6 Años collection, aimed at early readers from age 6.
Recommended for young readers who are starting to read and enjoy humorous stories and absurd situations.
