What happened one marvellous day while a little girl was walking by the seashore is that the wind took her precious little cap, that was green and even had a ribbon that was the prettiest part.

Mom takes a long time to answer, but finally tells about a great pile of marvellous stories and adventures that the escaped cap has had, so that there is no reason to be sad, and although se does not believe much of what her mother says, she does...

Robert Louis Stevenson, a diferencia de muchos otros escritores, creó moralidades y tramas en sus fábulas. El no fue un hombre religioso. Fue algo más, un hombre ético. Cada fabula de este libro tiene su propio estilo y vocabulario: algunas son coloquiales, otras son intemporales y podrían ser muy antiguas. En todas ellas se combinan cosas heterogéneas, casi en cada renglón hay una sorpresa. Esta es una breve y secreta obra maestra.
