«Me importa un comino el rey Pepino» is the children's novel by Christine Nöstlinger, published by Salvat in 1987 in paperback (136 pages, in Spanish).
King Pepino, a tiny green sovereign with a crown, settles on a family's sofa and revolutionizes their routine. With humor and fantasy, the novel recounts the coexistence between this monarch, a man with glasses and two children, and the absurd situations that arise when a king wants to rule a household.
