Now he wants to tell his ten-year-old daughter how much fun his grandmother was. He starts from the very beginning, when they used to share a bedroom and his grandma would snore loudly, and continues with the many adventures they shared— including the day she climbed the gate of the cemetery. A delightful, and often hilarious, read, from beginning to end. Fernando lives with his uncles and cousins in the small town of Zarzuela de los Barros, where almost everyone is a farmer, a beekeeper, or a hunter. The best hunter in the region is Bienvenido, an affable man who entertains children with stories and jokes. One day, Bienvenido’s wife announces that her husband has disappeared—but how could he have disappeared without a trace? It won’t be easy for Fernando (and the whole town) to solve this mystery.
