Rui Lage's version summarises the story and accompanies it with André Letria's illustrations.
It is number 8 in the collection Clássicos da Literatura Portuguesa Contados às Crianças. 2008 hardback edition, with 34 pages and text in Portuguese.
Aimed at children approaching the classics of Portuguese literature for the first time, with a summarised text and abundant illustrations.
