Un pescador pobre y desesperado recorre el reino en busca de un hombre honrado que acceda a ser el padrino de su hijo recién nacido. Rechaza a Dios (demasiado injusto), rechaza al Demonio (demasiado cruel), y a punto esta de darse por vencido cuando una silueta tenebrosa se le acerca a caballo por el camino. Es la Muerte. ¡Perfecto! Ella es honrada, justa y muy poderosa. La madrina perfecta, a no ser que te atrevas a desobedecerle. La prosa juguetona y certera de Sally Nicholls combina a la perfeccion con las ilustraciones deliciosas, oscuras e infinitamente detalladas de Julia Sarda. Esta reinterpretacion del clasico de los Hermanos Grimm es una pequeña joya de la literatura infantil ilustrada, y le da nueva vida a esa moraleja atemporal: cuidado con lo que deseas.
