«Veinte historias más una» is the short story book by Gianni Rodari, published by Ediciones SM in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Twenty-one stories that move between fantasy and reality, featuring unusual characters: an innkeeper who ends up turned into a statue, an emperor fond of music with no ear for it, or a princess who cannot stop laughing. Brief stories, with humour and imagination, that indirectly portray today's society.
It belongs to the Rodari series of the Barco de Vapor Naranja collection, with a translation from the Italian by Consuelo Gallego and illustrations by Francisco Collado Jimenez. It was originally published in 1979.
Recommended for readers aged 8 to 12, especially for those looking for short stories with fantasy, humour and a critical view of reality.
Giovanni Francesco "Gianni" Rodari was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his works of children's literature, notably Il romanzo di Cipollino. For his lasting contribution as a children's author, he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970. He is considered Italy's most important 20th-century children's author, and his books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.
