«L'ocell de foc» is the historical novel by Emili Teixidor, published by Cruilla/SM in paperback (171 pages, in Catalan).
A minstrel called Ocell de foc lives a wandering life without knowing his origins until, questioning his identity, he seeks refuge in the monastery of Sant Fruitós. His journey through medieval Provence, amid the fight against the Cathars and during the youth of King Jaume I, drags him into adventures that ultimately reveal his true destiny.
Originally published in 1976, this is the 12th edition, from 1986, in the El Vaixell de Vapor collection (no. 4), with illustrations by Montserrat Tobella.
Recommended for young readers fond of historical fiction and adventure novels set in the Middle Ages.
