«La isla de Abel» is the children's novel by William Steig, published by Blackie Books in hardcover (160 pages, in Spanish).
Abel, a well-to-do little mouse, is swept by a storm to a remote island. Far from his beloved Amanda, he must survive on his own: he builds rafts, crosses rivers, climbs trees, and searches for food. He discovers new foods, such as birch bark and dandelion stems, and learns the island's secrets while dreaming of returning home.
The Spanish edition, translated by María Luisa Balseiro, was published by Blackie Books in Barcelona on September 5, 2018.
This edition is intended for readers aged 10 and up who enjoy survival adventures and animal protagonists.
William Steig was an American cartoonist, illustrator, and children's book author best known for his picture book Shrek!, which inspired the film series of the same name. Steig was a prolific contributor of both cartoons and cover illustrations for The New Yorker magazine, and he developed a style of less humorous line drawings that became common on greeting cards as well as in his several published collections.
