Ana Garralón was born in Madrid in 1965. She has lived in Germany, Chile, France and (almost) in Mexico. She specialized herself in children’s literature and published the book “Historia portátil de la literatura infantil” (A portable History of Children’s Literature, Anaya, 2001). She is the author of several book compilations aimed to children. She likes bookbinding, hiking, hot meals and unexpected journeys. She is currently working at a bookshop and, despite she lacks free time, she is still involved in several projects of books for children.
Miguel de Cervantes left his mark on a multitude of streets, squares, bookshops and libraries that have been named after him. His work is still read and esteemed by readers but, however, very little is known about his life.
With an exquisite care and starting from the books he wrote, Ana Garralón tracks his texts in order to recreate Miguel de Cervantes’ life and the atmosphere of his time.
Throughout selected extracts from some of his works, and following a chronology, the youngest readers can start out not only in the reading of Don Quixote but also in the Model Novels or in his comedies or entreméses.
