This version was beautifully illustrated by the artist Sulyara and re-edited and published in hardcover form. The book collects 12 orally transmitted Brazilian folk legends, arranged by the 12 months of the year. Clarice Lispector retells these 12 stories in an intimate, fireside-chat-like language: how the stars were born, the bird that brings happiness, the little Indian's jungle adventures... These legends feature animals and Indians as protagonists, imbued with a rich Latin American flavor and allegorical quality. "Are legends just made-up stories? They might have the disguise of fairy tales so they can be passed down from generation to generation of parents into their children's memories. But they are also part of reality; who can say that Brazilian civilization and spirit were not gradually formed in the mists of giants and spirits?" ◎ Media Recommendations (Lispector) was touted from her debut as "the greatest female writer in Portuguese," and her half-century of writing practice indeed earned her ultimate accolades such as "the greatest Jewish writer since Kafka" and "the Brazilian Joyce"... —— Min Xuefei (Translator of Lispector's works) Clarice Lispector's children's works are innovative because they can address children's issues in a non-childish way, with understanding children as a constant underlying tone. —— Rosa Gens (PhD in Literature, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) This is a charming book for little ones to read before bed. Rich in vocabulary, full of fun, it satisfies children's curiosity. —— Amazon Reader Review There is a magic to Clarice Lispector's writing, and that magic is not limited to adult works. It's incredible to see my children engrossed in stories from Clarice's children's books. —— Goodreads Reader Review ◎ Celebrity Endorsements One of the most mysterious writers of the twentieth century, her writing is full of vibrant colors. —— Orhan Pamuk (Nobel Prize in Literature laureate) ◎ Awards Recipient of the Carmen Dolores Award and the Calunga Award.
