«El secuestro de la bibliotecaria» is the children's story by Margaret Mahy, published by Santillana Educación in paperback (48 pages, in Spanish).
The leader of a gang of bandits and his henchmen kidnap Miss Laburnum, the librarian, to demand a hefty ransom from the town council. They underestimate the young woman's courage and kind heart, and they don't expect a terrible case of measles to take an unexpected turn in their plan. A funny story of a most peculiar kidnapping.
It belongs to the Yellow Series (+6) from Loqueleo and includes illustrations by Quentin Blake. The work was originally published in 1976.
Aimed at early readers aged 6 and up, it is also used as school reading.
