Expelled from school, a child named Alfanhuí travels throughout Castile and comes to understand reality in an extraordinary and fantastic manner. Sánchez Ferlosio’s clean, poetic and inimitable style in this novel will impress and surprise readers from the first sentence on, and will not abandon nor tire them. A small literary gem upon which time has been unable to make inroads.
