El galardonado autor David Bowles ha escrito un texto poético --y un apéndice cuidosamente investigado-- para acompañar las ilustraciones e historia opulentas de Álvarez. El libro se publicará simultáneamente en inglés y español, brindando a los jóvenes lectores de todo el mundo la oportunidad de saborear este antiguo cuento en el formato más bello posible. **
