Synopsis
The author is one of Portugal’s greatest poets and, like her poetry, these stories are filled with her delight and pleasure in nature, gardens and the sea, as well as her keen sense of the magical. Among other things, we encounter dwarves, diminutive little girls who live on the sea bed, plants that come alive at night, a tree that lives on long after it has been felled, and a pilgrim who discovers much more than the Holy Land. Her themes are, above all, loyalty and friendship.

About the Author
Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1919-2004) was brought up in a wealthy Catholic family, although she was also always fiercely critical of the repressive right-wing Salazar regime. Introduced by her nanny to the joys of poetry and story-telling, she published several collections of poems, 2 volumes of short stories and 9 children’s stories, which she wrote originally for her own children. She became Portugal’s most acclaimed poet and was the first woman to be awarded Portugal’s highest literary honour, the Prémio Camőes.
Margaret Jull Costa has translated the works of many Spanish and Portuguese writers. She won many awards including the Marsh Children’s Fiction in Translation Award for The Adventures of Shola by Bernardo AtxagaI. She was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, awarded an OBE for services to literature, the Ordem Infante D. Henrique by the Portuguese government.and a lifetime achievement award by the Cervantes Institute in New York.
