La llegenda de les quatre barres

Synopsis of La llegenda de les quatre barres

«La llegenda de les quatre barres» is a children's story adapted by Xavier Blanch and illustrated by El Persas, from La Galera in hardback (32 pages).

An emperor honours a noble count dying of his wounds by dipping four fingers in his blood and marking four red bars on his golden shield. That gesture turns the four bars into an emblem of his lands and lineage, and gives shape to one of Catalonia's founding legends, told in agile, accessible language.

Part of the Popular collection (no. 57); it is the first edition, in Catalan, published in 2001 and recommended for readers aged 6 to 8.

Recommended for early readers who want to explore Catalan culture through a short, illustrated tale.
