Liniers animates these thrilling tales with lighthearted twists. Combined with informative backmatter on their ecological, cultural, and historical background and a bibliography, these old stories will come alive for all young readers, from those who have grown up hearing them to those who are encountering them for the first time.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Argentina, RICARD LINIERS SIRI (a.k.a.
