Comment:
The writer rewrote classical tales with her ten-year-old daughter on holiday. That’s the origin of this innovative book that provides a new model of society in which boys and girls are equal. Heroines are clever and courageous. Humour is always present in a volume that addresses adults too in an ironical way. The writer’s daughter and her friends helped to draw black and white illustrations. The publication of the book also inspired a musical which is performed in Madrid.
