«El cuento de la calle de una sola dirección» is the collection of short stories by Joan Aiken published by Salvat Editores in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
The stories take the reader to singular places where dreamlike things happen: walking the wrong way down a one-way street, coming across strange creatures, seeing how a cake baked with a magic spoon tangles up birthday presents, and saving the king of the grasshoppers from the soup.
The volume belongs to the «Biblioteca Juvenil» collection and was published in 1988, in a Spanish-language edition.
For a children's and young adult audience looking for brief fantastic stories, with a dreamlike atmosphere and unusual situations.
Joan Delano Aiken was an English writer specialising in supernatural fiction and children's alternative history novels. In 1999 she was awarded an MBE for her services to children's literature.

She won an Edgar Allan Poe Award (1972) for Night Fall.
