«Xiganos e Anantes» is a children's book by Manuel Antonio Pina, published by Edicións Xerais in paperback (57 pages, in Galician).
The book plays with mixing the words “xigantes” and “ananos” to create absurd creatures. Ana describes the xiganos and anantes and helps the beetle Bocaxe post a letter; the letters rebel against alphabetical order and drag words and books along; Bocaxe returns with a peculiar version of Lazarus. A child changes the “te” for the “que”.
The work belongs to the Merlín collection from Edicións Xerais and is illustrated by María Xosé Fernández.
Aimed at readers aged 9 to 12, especially those who enjoy wordplay and absurd humour.
Manuel António Pina ComIH was a Portuguese journalist and writer. In 2011 he was awarded the Prémio Camões, the most important literary award in the Portuguese language.
