«La cabeza del dragón» is the children's farce by Ramón del Valle-Inclán, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (115 pages, in Spanish).
Beneath the guise of a fairy tale, with a princess about to be devoured by a dragon and a prince determined to save her, this play unfolds the humor of farce and conceals historical references from its author's era. Dragons, goblins, princes and princesses make up a small stage game full of irony.
1984 edition in the Austral Juvenil collection, with illustrations by Viví Escrivá; the work was originally published in 1914.
Aimed at children and young readers; the recommended reading age is 3 and up.
Ramón María del Valle-Inclán y de la Peña was a Spanish dramatist, novelist, and member of the Spanish Generation of 98. His work has been described by literary critics as radical in its subversion of traditional Spanish theatre in the early 20th century. He influenced later generations of Spanish dramatists and is honored on National Theatre Day with a statue in Madrid.
