«Veinte historias más una» is a book of fantastic tales by Gianni Rodari, published by Ediciones SM in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together twenty-one tales with singular characters: an innkeeper turned into a living statue, an emperor with a musical hobby and a poor ear, a prince who chooses the trade of woodcutter, and a princess who cannot stop laughing. The boundary between fantasy and reality is not always clear, and the everyday mixes with the extraordinary.
The title belongs to the El Barco de Vapor Naranja collection and the Rodari series, with illustrations by Fran Collado and translation by Consuelo Gallego. Its original title is Venti storie più una.
Recommended for child and young readers aged 8 to 12, especially for those who enjoy short tales of humor and fantasy.
Giovanni Francesco "Gianni" Rodari was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his works of children's literature, notably Il romanzo di Cipollino. For his lasting contribution as a children's author, he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970. He is considered Italy's most important 20th-century children's author, and his books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.
