Baron Lamberto is old, very rich and ill; he suffers from twenty-four ailments that his butler, Anselmo, knows by heart. According to an ancient Egyptian secret, the baron hires six people to recite his name without rest, because he believes this keeps him alive. Shortly afterwards, the baron's life changes unexpectedly.
Work originally published in Italian as «C'era due volte il barone Lamberto» (1978); the Catalan edition belongs to the collection «Els grumets de mar enllà».
Novel intended for children and young readers looking for a fantastic and humorous story.
