Discover the definitive edition of 'Los niños tontos' by Ana María Matute, a collection of 23 short stories, including two unpublished ones, that explore childhood in a world marked by the post-war period. With the innocent and lucid gaze of children, Matute constructs small prints of discovery and loss, composing a great impressionistic painting of childhood. This commemorative edition of the author's centenary presents for the first time the book in its definitive version, with a prologue by María Paz Ortuño.
